Statement of the Problem
School Head’s Leadership Styles and Job Satisfaction of Public School Teachers
Literature review:
Leadership styles in this study are categorize into authoritarian leadership wherein the leader tells his or her
employees what to do and how to do it, without getting their advice; participative or democratic wherein the leader
includes one or more employees in the decision making process, but the leader normally maintains the final decision
making authority; transformational leadership is a leadership style in which leaders encourage, inspire and motivate
employees to innovate and create change that will help grow and shape the future success of the company. This is
accomplished by setting an example at the executive level through a strong sense of corporate culture, employee
ownership and independence in the workplace (White, 2018); and transactional leadership relies on motivating
employees through rewards and punishments.
Job satisfaction refers to the pleasure derived while doing a job. Supervisors face a major challenge in ensuring that
their subordinates are satisfied with their jobs. A satisfied worker is more efficient and effective in an organization
(Haque & Aston, 2016; Haque et al., 2015). Subordinates will be more satisfied if they are treated well (Aziri, 2011;
Haque, Faizan & Cockrill, 2017). Satisfaction by aspects can show a more comprehensive picture of job satisfaction
in comparison with the global approach. There are many influences on job satisfaction such as pay, supervision,
rewards, benefits, nature of job, and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. A worker may be satisfied with
some aspects of his/her job while dissatisfied with other aspects. Job satisfaction are categorize in terms of: (a)
supervision where it is a process of facilitating the professional growth of a teacher, primarily by giving the teacher
feedback about classroom interactions and helping the teacher make use of the feedback in order to make teaching
more effective; (b) working condition where it is a demands, environment and terms of job that influence the
satisfaction of employee (Spacey, 2018); (c) recognitions that is an act of acknowledging and appreciating an
employee's work, and to let employees know that the effort they put in their job and the work results they achieved
are valued and appreciated (Zojceska,2019), and (d) colleagues where in making friends at work and engaging in
social activities helps to build healthy relationships and strengthen bonds. Healthy relationships may motivate
employees and increase morale.
