Various studies have been carried out internationally with the aim of verifying the relationship between

transformational leadership style and job satisfaction. Ali et al., discovered that there is a positive
correlation impact of this leadership style on satisfaction of employees. Similarly, Elmazi (2018) stated
that headteachers who employed transformational leadership positively influenced teacher’s job
satisfaction in a research examining the impact of headteacher leadership style on job satisfaction of
secondary school teachers. According to Sayada (2016), innovative leadership is associated with
educators' job satisfaction. Wahab et al. (2014) conducted research on innovative superintendent
leadership and its impact on trainers' job satisfaction. The results of the review indicated that
superintendents adopted innovative leadership styles and that educators' job satisfaction was also high,
with a measurable association between innovative leadership styles and educators' job satisfaction.
Gkolia et al. (2014) found in a study conducted in Greece that thought leadership significantly influences
teachers' job satisfaction. Arumugam et al. (2019) observed a significantly positive association between
innovative leadership styles and job satisfaction among workers in Malaysia. Arzi and Farahbod (2014)
focused on the effect of leadership style on job satisfaction among Iranian accommodation workers,
who found that innovative leadership, academic enthusiasm, foresight and leadership of support
fundamentally influence employees.

Satisfaction.

Transactional leadership style and job satisfaction

In a peer review, Suryani (2018) found a positive correlation between transactional leadership style and
job satisfaction. Javed et al. (2014) examined the relationship between leadership styles and job
satisfaction among workers in Pakistan's confidential financial sector. Results showed a relationship
between transactional leadership style and employee job satisfaction, with pioneers using a
transactional leadership style rather than an innovative leadership style. Spitzbart (2013) found an
impressive positive influence of transactional leadership style on representative job satisfaction in
hostels in the Netherlands by examining the effect of transactional and innovative leadership on job
satisfaction. In this sense, Utami and Suana (2015) found an ideal relationship between transactional
leadership style and employee satisfaction. Recently, Lumbantoruan et al. (2020) detailed that the
transactional leadership style further promoted representative job satisfaction. Saleem (2015) again
found a negative association between transactional leadership styles and educators' job satisfaction.
Elmazi (2018) found that transactional leadership style influences secondary school teachers' job
satisfaction in a research that examined the impact of school principals' leadership style on teachers' job
satisfaction. According to Oin and Asghar (2018), transactional leadership style has an insignificant
impact on job satisfaction. Given the first accurate survey, it is hypothesized that the association
between transactional leadership style and job satisfaction shows mixed results.

Laissez-faire leadership style and job satisfaction

Adeyemi and Bolarinwa (2013) conducted a correlation report on selected schools in Ondo State, Nigeria
to assess principal leadership style and teacher job satisfaction. There was a measurable critical
relationship between bosses' leadership style and school educators' job satisfaction, but there was no
such relationship between laissez-faire leadership style and job satisfaction. In addition, the review
showed that educators have modest levels of job satisfaction. Munir and Iqbal (2018) found a negative
association between laissez-faire leadership style and educator job satisfaction in a study examining the
association between supervisor leadership style and educator job satisfaction. Essentially, Obongo
(2019) examined leadership styles of bosses and their relation to educators' job satisfaction in Kenya
and found a negative critical relationship between laissez-faire leadership styles and educators' job
satisfaction. Deshpande et al. (2018) also found an unfortunate association between leadership styles
