Industrial Management The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between leadership styles of nurse managers and job satisfaction of registered nurses in hospital setting in Jitra, Kedah. A list of 126 registered staff nurses meeting the inclusion criteria for the study was obtained from administration office of Jitra. Researcher employed census study where the data were gathered on every member of the population because of the entire population at organization is sufficiently small. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire was used to measure leadership styles of nurse managers as perceived by staff nurses. The Work Quality Index was used to measure job satisfaction of registered staff nurses. A significant relationship was found between job satisfaction and transformational (r=.535, p=0.000) and transactional (r=.454, p=0.000) leadership styles.

The study revealed that there are significant relationship between individual consideration (r =0.389, p=0.000), inspirational motivation (r =0.452, p=0.000), idealized influence (behavior) (r =0.459, p=0.000), idealized influence (attributed) (r =0.469, p=0.000), contingent reward (r =0.472, p=0.000) and management by exception (active) (r =0.449, p=0.000) and job satisfaction.
