Thus, this study probes deep into the correlations of four variables which include that servant leadership, organization-based self-esteem, power distance, and job satisfaction. Meanwhile, with organization-based self-esteem as the mediating variable and power distance as the moderating variable, we explored whether servant leadership would affect job satisfaction through the mediator of organization-based self-esteem and the moderator of power distance.
