The purposes of this study were: (1) to develop a mediating model explaining the relationship between servant leadership and teachers’ innovative behavior, with teachers’ job engagement as the mediating variable; and (2) to examine the mediating effect of teachers’ job engagement on this relationship in higher vocational colleges in Anyang City, Henan Province. This study employed a quantitative research design. The target population comprised 2,198 teachers from three higher vocational colleges in Anyang City in 2024. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 310 participants. Data were collected using a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) were applied for data analysis. The findings indicated that servant leadership did not have a direct effect on teachers’ innovative behavior but positively influenced teachers’ job engagement. The proposed model demonstrated an excellent fit with the empirical data, with fit indices (Chi-square, GFI, AGFI, CFI, TLI, RMR, and RMSEA) meeting the recommended criteria. Furthermore, servant leadership influenced teachers’ innovative behavior indirectly through teachers’ job engagement. All proposed hypotheses were supported.
