The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of f fathers’ involvement in child-rearing on servant leadership and playfulness. The subjects of the study were the fathers and teachers in charge of 288 children aged five years attending private kindergartens in 'J' Metropolitan City. Tests for fathers’ involvement in child-rearing, servant leadership, and playfulness were administered to the subjects. The collected data were tested with Pearson's correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis using SPSS 21.0 version. The results are as follow. First, a father’s involvement in child-rearing and servant leadership had an overall significant positive correlation, and a father’s involvement in child-rearing was a significant predictive factor for servant leadership. Second, a father’s involvement in child-rearing and playfulness had an overall significant positive correlation, and a father’s involvement in child-rearing was a significant predictive factor for playfulness. These results suggest that based on the perceptions of child care teachers, a father’s involvement in child-rearing can be an important factor for servant leadership and playfulness.
