This research study investigates the effect of leadership styles on employees' job satisfaction within the educational private sector organization in Egypt, with a case study conducted at Nermine Ismail Language School. The research aims to understand how different leadership styles influence employee satisfaction and retention, contributing to the overall effectiveness of the organization.
The study population consists of employees currently working at NIS International Schools in Egypt. Data were collected through three preexisting validated instruments: the Multifactor Leaders Questionnaire (MLQ) 5X Rater Form, a Job Satisfaction survey, and a demographic survey. Quantitative analysis of 194 questionnaires is complemented by an "interpretive-descriptive" methodology for qualitative data analysis. The study findings demonstrate a significant relationship between leadership styles, particularly transformational and transactional leadership, and employees' job satisfaction.
Additionally, through in-depth qualitative interviews, the study emphasizes the significance of incorporating communication skills, management experience, and qualifications as essential criteria in management appointments to enhance employee satisfaction and overall organizational performance.
By providing empirical evidence of the link between leadership styles and employee job satisfaction in the educational private sector of Egypt, this research contributes practical implications for organizational leaders. These findings underscore the importance of thoughtful leadership appointments and offer a valuable reference for fostering positive work environments and improving employee satisfaction. The originality of this study lies in its specific focus on the Egyptian educational private sector, adding novel insights to the field of leadership and employee satisfaction.
