The purpose of the current study was to investigate the function of psychological safety as a mediator in the connection between servant leadership and voice behavior (promotive and prohibitive). Psychological safety partially mediates (beta value of IV-DV reduced to 0.505) and positively impacts the servant leadership. The results showed that servant leadership positively impacts psychological safety (β = 0.487**) and voice behavior (β = 0.664**). The sample consisted of 176 full-time employees of private HEC institutes in South Punjab. Both the theoretical and practical ramifications of the findings were explored.
