| dc.description.abstract | Abstract The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate and examine the relationship between academic leader department heads leadership styles and job satisfaction of full-time faculty members at King Saud University in Saudi Arabia. Three-hundred eighteen academic leaders participated in a survey. The data were analyzed using linear regression. The dependent variable was Job Satisfaction and the independent variables were the Transformational Leadership Score, Transactional Leadership Score, and Laissez-Faire Leadership Score. Results show there is a statistically significant positive association between job satisfaction and the transformational leadership. There is a statistically smaller significant association between job satisfaction and transactional leadership. Laissez-faire Leadership reduces job satisfaction among faculty members.
