Objective: This study sought to analyze whether service leadership predicts work performance on municipal employees in the province of San Martín – Peru, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Material and Methods:The design is non-experimental, cross-sectional, and predictive. We analyzed data of 424 municipal employees from the districts: Morales, Tarapoto, and Banda Shilcayo, aged between 20 and 65 years, of both sexes.
