Dependency of Job Satisfaction and Job Productivity on Leadership Style

The research is focused on the analysis of dependency of different variables of work results on the leadership styles. Despite the interconnections between various leadership styles and work results parameters are proven to exist, these connections remain to be understudied. According to the previous studies, there is no common theory on leadership that could answer the question, what leaders should do and how they should behave in order to successfully and effectively influence and improve the performance of a group, a team or an organization. The thesis evaluates the influence of the diverse leadership styles according to the situational theory of Hersey-Blanchard on the job satisfaction and productivity and describes the experiment which was carried on in order to analyze these interconnections. It is proposed that the level of job productivity and job satisfaction is the highest when the leadership style of a leader matches the development level of an employee. The master thesis concludes with limitations, suggestions for the future theoretical research, and implications for research and practical purposes
