Abstract
There are a lot of research focused on leadership style and its relationship with job satisfaction, but not too many on the relationship between Likert leadership (what is Likert leadership?) and job satisfaction to solve this problem, the current study aims to investigate the relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction with an academic staff sample from Shahed high school in Tehran province, Iran. In this study, quantitative research was conducted. Research finding shows that the consultative system; participative system; school principal and leadership style has a positive relationship with job satisfaction, while exploitative authoritative and benevolent authoritative don’t have any relationship with job satisfaction. No significant relationship was found between demographic characteristics and teachers’ job satisfaction however, academic qualifications were significantly associated to job satisfaction. Recommendations for staffing and resource allocation are given. It can be supported, therefore, that measuring and analyzing an institution’s leadership style in combination with its employees’ demographic and individual characteristics may lead to valuable conclusions, so that job satisfaction is promoted.
Keywords: Job satisfaction, leadership style, Likert theory, effectiveness management, performance.
