The main aim of the present study is explaining the relationship between servant leadership and job performance by considering the mediating role of organizational culture.

Three questionnaires of servant leadership style (Taylor), organizational culture (Robbins) and job performance (Paterson) were used for gathering information. The validity and reliability of questionnaires were confirmed. Indexes such as mean and standard deviation and Pearson correlative coefficient and hierarchical analysis regression using Baron and Kenny method of two parts of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used for analyzing the data and testing the hypothesizes. Results of the analyzed data showed that there is a direct and meaningful relationship between servant leadership, organizational culture and job performance.
