The finding shown that the e-leadership based on mobile technology is significantly contribute to the intra-team communication (CR=7.235, β=0.301, P=0.00), while the intra-team communication is also positively predicted towards job satisfaction (CR=8.448, β=0.356, P=0.00). The finding also shown the intra-team communication had fully-mediated to the relationship between e-leadership and job satisfaction. Finally, this study indicate that the model with intrateam communication as mediator was fit better (χ2=321.286, χ2/df=2.869) than that the model without mediator (χ2=471.817, χ2/df=4.139).
