The study employed explanatory mixed research design with both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Primary and secondary sources of data were used in the study. In addition, the study employed a convenience sampling method to collect data from the teachers of private primary schools found in Bole sub-city of Addis Ababa. The total population of the study was 1437, from this, 313 questionnaires were distributed and 285 (91.05%) usable questionnaires were obtained valid and used for further analysis. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software version 26. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, means & standard deviations) and multiple regression analysis were utilized to analyze the collected data. The study revealed that job satisfaction among teachers in private primary schools is significantly influenced by two types of leadership styles: transformational and laissez-faire. Furthermore, it was observed that transformational leadership has a greater impact on teacher job satisfaction compared to lassies-fair leadership. The study also highlighted that transformational leadership is currently the most prevalent type of leadership. As a result, the researcher recommended that leaders at the private primary schools in Addis Ababa should consider adopting the transformational leadership style in order to enhance their job satisfaction and ultimately improve organizational outcomes.
