Abstract
This study aims to address the gap in research regarding the impact of leadership styles on
employee outcomes, specifically within the context of Dashen Bank in Ethiopia. The primary
objective is to investigate the influence of organizational leadership style on job satisfaction
among employees of Dashen Bank. Utilizing quantitative methods, the study explores the
relationship between various leadership styles and employee job satisfaction. The sample for the
study, drawn using (yemane, 1967), comprises 162 respondents from a target population of 273
permanent employees at Dashen Bank's east addis ababa district. The findings from the regression
coefficient analysis reveal that five leadership styles - transformational, transactional, autocratic,
democratic, and laissez-faire - significantly influence job satisfaction, accounting for 88.6% of the
variance in the dependent variable. Specifically, transformational, transactional, and democratic
leadership styles exhibit positive and significant relationships with employee job satisfaction,
while autocratic and laissez-faire leadership styles show negative and significant relationships.
The study fulfills the assumptions of multiple regression analysis, including sample size,
multicollinearity, linearity, and normality. Based on these findings, the study recommends that
company leaders should regularly provide feedback and recognition to employees, acknowledging
their contributions, identifying areas for improvement, and motivating them for enhanced
performance. This approach is expected to foster a conducive work environment that promotes job
satisfaction among employees.
