Abstract In the new era, employees pay more attention to the pursuit of the sense of professional calling. Based on previous relevant research, this study constructs a moderation-mediation model and explores the mediation mechanism and its boundary conditions of servant-type leadership’s impact on employees’ sense of calling. Furthermore, the paper takes social information processing as the theoretical base and attempts to explain the relationship between the servant-type leadership and employees’ sense of calling through the mediating variable of job crafting. On this basis, a moderation effect is assumed in the relationship between self-validation efforts and self-management failure. Through a three-phase survey of 398 employees in a high-tech listed company, the above assumption is tested and the result is generally consistent with the theoretical prediction. This study is conducive to the understanding of the relationship among organizational context, employee’s personal traits and behavioral habit and their sense of calling. In addition, it provides guidance in helping employees to meet personal needs in their jobs through pertinent measures from the administrators.
