GHOLAMREZA SHAMS

Abstract:

The present study aimed at investigating the impact of secure-base leadership on employees’ job satisfaction through leadership effectiveness at Shahid Beheshti University. The study is a descriptive-correlation one. The study samples were selected through stratified random sampling. Three questionnaires including "secure-base leadership", "leadership effectiveness" and "job satisfaction" (researcher-made) were employed to collect the data. Validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by university professors and their reliabilities calculated by the use of Cronbach's Alpha which were 0.91, 0.93, and 0.83, respectively. To analyze the data, one-sample t-test, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, stepwise multiple regression and structural equation modeling through SPSS and LISREL software, were employed. Results showed that secure-base leadership and leadership effectiveness scores were higher than average and the job satisfaction scores were average. Correlation coefficients showed that secure-base leadership had a significant and positive relationship with leadership effectiveness and job satisfaction. On the other hand, results showed that secure-base leadership directly and through leadership effectiveness had a major impact on job satisfaction. Moreover, leadership effectiveness had an impact on job satisfaction.
