Keywords:
Leadership, Middle Managers, SUCs, Job Satisfaction, LeadersAbstract
The study explored the leadership styles of middle level managers and job satisfaction of faculty members among the ten state universities and colleges in Eastern Visayas. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational design which looked into the particular leadership style (transactional or transformational) of middle level managers as perceived by themselves and its relation to their job satisfaction using questionnaires. The middle level manager-respondents’ leadership styles, as perceived by themselves in terms of being transformational or transactional, and both leadership styles were not significantly related to their age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, and years of service as middle level manager. The Faculty-respondents’ perceptions regarding the middle level managers’ leadership style along transformational leadership was inversely and significantly related to their age and years in service as teachers, but not with sex, civil status, and educational attainment. The faculty-respondents’ perceptions regarding the middle level managers’ leadership style along the transactional leadership was directly and significantly related to their educational attainment, but not with age, sex, civil status, and years of service. The claim of the two groups of respondents regarding the particular leadership styles exhibited by the middle level managers was different. The faculty-respondents were slightly satisfied with their work as teachers. The perceptions of the faculty-respondents about the leadership styles of their immediate supervisors along the transformational or transactional leadership style was that both leadership styles were significantly related to their job satisfaction.
