Scale to represent the opinions of the study sample, that was selected using the random sampling method, where the researchers randomly distributed (55) a questionnaire and (50) valid questionnaires were approved for analysis, representing a response rate of (91%). The results of the study showed that there is a positive and strong correlation between the style of democratic leadership and job satisfaction and that there is an inverse relationship between the style of autocratic leadership and job satisfaction. The study’s findings also showed that there is no connection between a laissez-faire leadership style and job satisfaction. Accordingly, the study recommended that the style of leadership adopted in the organizations targeted by the study should enhance job satisfaction, loyalty to the organization, and performance in general. The study also suggested expanding the research circle to include a larger number of governmental as well as private universities and adopting other leadership styles as variables for future research.
