Abstract

This study examines the influence of leadership styles on academic job satisfaction in higher education institutions in Ethiopia. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire and Job Satisfaction Survey were used to identify the prevailing leadership styles as perceived by employees and to review their satisfaction with the institutions, respectively. The researchers used a cross-sectional survey of academic staff working in selected public universities. A logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between the independent (leadership styles/behaviors) and the dependent (employees’ job satisfaction) variables. The findings suggested that transformational leadership influenced positively faculty job satisfaction. The outcome of the research will generate greater awareness on the importance of having leaders whose behaviors/styles increase faculty job satisfaction and ensure organizational effectiveness.

埃塞俄比亚公立大学领导风格对员工工作满意度的影响

本研究探讨领导风格对埃塞俄比亚高等教育机构学术工作满意度的影响。多因素领导力问卷和工作满意度调查分别用于确定员工所感知的主流领导风格，并评估他们对机构的满意度。研究人员对在选定的公立大学工作的学术人员进行了横断面调查。采用logistic回归分析评估独立变量(领导风格/行为)与依赖变量(员工工作满意度)之间的关系。研究发现，变革型领导对教师工作满意度有正向影响。该研究的结果将使人们更加认识到，领导者的行为/风格能够提高教师的工作满意度，并确保组织的有效性。引用本文:Alemu Muleta Kebede和Getnet Worku Demeke，“领导风格对埃塞俄比亚公立大学员工工作满意度的影响”，当代管理研究，第13卷，第3期，pp. 165-176, 2017。此文档的永久链接:http://dx.doi.org/10.7903/cmr.17668
