The Impact of Leadership Practices on Employee Job Satisfaction

Abstract

Many corporate environments still heavily rely on leadership, which influences employee degree of work satisfaction. The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which the leadership behaviours are connected to engagement, retention, and motivation as well as to identify the ones that most affect workers' level of happiness. Transformational leadership, transactional leadership, and servant leadership are some of the leadership theories under central focus of the research. Currently, they are looking at the relationships between these ideas and important results in the workplace including trust in management, recognition, and chances for professional development. Data also came from organized interviews with employees and organizational leaders. This was done while gathering data from staff comments and internal performance reports. The results show that employees who value empathy, openness, cooperative decision-making, and consistent recognition in leadership are more likely to be satisfied with their whole experience. This is the contrary of what was before thought. Significant modifiers in this relationship were discovered to be the workforce's demographics, the kind of industry, and the corporate culture. Leadership styles that are inclusive and flexible have shown to have a more major and beneficial influence on employee satisfaction.
Considering the results, it is likely that a deliberate strategy to improve leadership conduct can provide higher degrees of work satisfaction and production. Organizational alignment with employee values, opportunities for leadership development, and an emphasis on employee feedback systems are among the several elements that can possibly intensify this effect. This study adds to the current conversation on organizational behaviour by providing evidence-based recommendations meant to improve leadership and human resource management in many kinds of business environments.
