| Summary: | The challenges confronting Malaysia’s Research Universities in their futuristic movement towards world Class
University are enormous. Leadership styles employed in higher education institutions play crucial role in
achieving lecturers’ job satisfaction. This paper examines the influence of transformational leadership style
employed by departments heads on improving lecturers’ job satisfaction. The population comprised the lecturers
from three leading Research Universities. The responses were subjected to multiple regression analysis. The
findings uncovered ‘inspirational motivation’ and ‘idealized influence’ as most often used practices of
transformational leadership by the departments heads and identified that transformational leadership improves
lecturers’ job satisfaction more than other leadership styles. |
