Exploring the Impact of Organizational Culture and Leadership Behavior on Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The essence of an organization's culture encapsulates enduring convictions and values held within, including the perspectives of the staff and their perceived significance of their contributions, shaping their demeanour and actions. Leaders in the organizational sphere frequently adjust their leadership style in accordance with the organization's mission, and this adaptation can profoundly influence the contentment of employees in their roles. Therefore, understanding the intricate interplay among organizational culture, leadership style, and employee job satisfaction is paramount. To delve into this dynamic, a comprehensive study was conducted among nurses in Taiwanese hospitals using a cross-sectional approach. A meticulously crafted survey was deployed to gather data, with 300 surveys disseminated and 200 valid responses received. Rigorous reliability analysis, utilizing Cronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis, was executed to scrutinize the data. Subsequently, correlation analysis was applied to explore the relationships between organizational culture, leadership style, and job satisfaction. The findings unveiled noteworthy correlations between organizational culture and both leadership style and job satisfaction. Furthermore, a significant correlation was discerned between leadership style and job satisfaction.
