The Impact of Perceived Leadership Effectiveness on Job Satisfaction Among Mental Health Practitioners in Nonprofit Organizations

Abstract

Leadership has been a fascinating research topic for many years and garners substantial interest from many organizations seeking to enhance and maximize human resources. Leadership effectiveness was especially identified as one of the most influential moderator for employee job satisfaction. Three additional components that served as the control variables were: organizational commitment, performance, and occupational burnout. Multiple regression analysis was utilized to explore the impact of their relationship with employee job satisfaction. The results confirmed that an employee’s perception of his or her leader’s effectiveness was paramount to job satisfaction compared to the effects of controlled variables.
