Abstract
Servant leadership, different from the traditional leadership style, has attracted the extensive attention since its appearance. It unified leadership with service, and better reflected the leadership philosophy. Knowledge team, as the main organization in modern enterprise, was also focused by researches. However, by reviewing the literature, we found that the research on the relationship between the servant leadership and the knowledge team performance was obviously insufficient. On the basis of the questionnaire, we analyzed the inherent relationship between servant leadership and knowledge team performance. The results showed that servant leadership could boost knowledge staff job satisfaction, thus contributing to the improvement of the knowledge team performance; knowledge employee satisfaction played an intermediary role between servant leadership and knowledge team performance.
