Effective Leadership And Employee Engagement In A Workplace: A Study Of Style And Satisfaction

Author(s) Ms. Jinky B Ejes, Ms. Jenny Y Arevalo
Country Philippines
Abstract This study examined the link between different leadership styles and employee job satisfaction in selected local banks in the Province of Cebu, during the second semester of the 2025–2026 academic year. Using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational methodology, data were obtained from a survey questionnaire. This questionnaire was given to 50 employees and 10 managers. The results showed that managers mainly used transformational leadership. Transactional leadership was seen to a modest degree, while laissez-faire leadership was rated the lowest. Employees expressed great job satisfaction, especially about the work environment, pay, recognition, opportunities for professional progress, and relationships with their coworkers. The correlation study showed a small, statistically insignificant link between leadership style and job satisfaction (r = 0.276, p = 0.439). This suggests that elements beyond leadership, such as organizational policies and work conditions, have a stronger influence on job satisfaction. This study underscores the necessity of comprehensive tactics for enhancing employee happiness, and it offers ideas for creating leadership programs specifically designed for community-based banks.
