The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of servant leadership on job satisfaction and organizational commitment as organizational performance, and to analyze the mediating effect of supervisor trust and psychological well-being in this process. A theoretical model was constructed based on previous studies related to servant leadership, and an empirical analysis was conducted to confirm its influence using the collected data to achieve this research objective. In addition, the subjects of this study were limited to military officials, and data were collected using a standardized questionnaire. A total of 324 copies were used for research, and the questionnaire was collected online and offline from early January to the end of February 2024. The reliability of the set variable was verified by internal consistency analysis, validity by factor analysis, and the closeness of the variable was verified by correlation analysis. The influence of servant leadership on organizational performance was verified by regression analysis, and the mediating effect between these variables on positive psychological capital and organizational identification was verified by bootstrapping analysis. The analysis results of this study are as follows. First, it was analyzed that growth support and value respect of servant leadership had a significant effect on job satisfaction and organizational commitment, which are organizational performance. In particular, the lower the class and the larger the organization size, the greater the influence of servant leadership. This is interpreted because the lower the class, the more limited autonomy and the better motivation is achieved by servant leadership. Second, the mediating effect of supervisor trust is recognized in the relationship between servant leadership and organizational performance. Boss trust acts as an important parameter in the relationship between servant leadership and job satisfaction and organizational commitment, which are organizational performance, and in particular, its influence was greater in job satisfaction. Third, the mediating effect of psychological well-being is recognized in the relationship between servant leadership and organizational performance. Psychological well-being acts as an important parameter in the relationship between servant leadership, job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and its influence was particularly greater in organizational commitment. This shows that the psychological well-being of members plays an important role in enhancing organizational commitment. This study confirms that servant leadership is a type of leadership suitable for the recent rapidly changing times and suggests a way to use it as a means of motivation for members of the organization. In addition, based on systematic measures for voluntary organizational commitment of members, it is expected to be effectively used for strategic human resource management in the military.
