Abstract

This study explores lecturers’ perceptions of job satisfaction within the framework of leadership styles in an academic environment. Understanding the link between leadership behavior and job satisfaction is crucial for improving organizational effectiveness in higher education. A qualitative approach was employed to gain an in-depth understanding of lecturers’ experiences, views, and subjective meanings related to leadership and job satisfaction. The study focused on the Bachelor of Management program at Universitas Pamulang, involving 52 active lecturers selected through simple random sampling. Eligibility criteria required lecturers to hold at least the rank of “Lektor” and have a minimum of five years of work experience, ensuring respondents possess sufficient insights into academic work dynamics and leadership. Data were collected via questionnaires containing both open and closed questions about perceived job satisfaction and leadership style. Descriptive analysis was used to systematically identify patterns and relationships between leadership approaches and job satisfaction levels. Findings reveal that leadership style significantly influences lecturers’ job satisfaction, emphasizing the importance of communication, approachability, and fairness in leadership roles. This study contributes valuable contextual insights into the impact of leadership styles on job satisfaction in the academic setting, providing implications for improving leadership practices in universities.
