ABSTRACT

This study examined the impact of managerial leadership styles, as perceived by organizational members, on job satisfaction and organizational performance. This study used the SPSS 24.00 statistical package to test the research hypotheses established according to the research model, based on a survey of 146 employees employed at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) conducted in May 2025. First, a manager's leadership styles had a positive effect on job satisfaction. We confirmed that as a manager's leadership styles improved, the job satisfaction of organizational members also improved. Second, a manager's leadership styles had a positive effect on organizational performance, supporting Hypothesis 2. As organizational performance improved as a manager's leadership styles improved, there is a need to strengthen the leadership styles of managers. Third, Hypothesis 3, job satisfaction, was statistically significantly related to organizational performance and was accepted. As organizational performance improved as job satisfaction among organizational members increased, the importance of enhancing job satisfaction was emphasized. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to re-establish and sustain implementation strategies tailored to the characteristics of the organization, focusing on managers' leadership styles and job satisfaction enhancement for sustainable management activities.
