Participation Leadership and Job Satisfaction for Creating Organization Commitment and Increasing Employee Performance

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to look into how job satisfaction affects participatory leadership styles towards organisational commitments and performance of university staff in Gaza and Palestine. Data collection at the Palestinian Universities located in Gaza Strip through self-distribution by the researcher. Consequently, only 494 usable questionnaires, or 57%, were included in the analysis. Partial least square (PLS) software was utilised to conduct a structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis on the data. The results offer empirical support for the importance of a participative leadership style on worker performance, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, the analysis indicates that there is a partial mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between job satisfaction and employee performance. These results shed light on the interactions between leadership philosophies and an organization's performance and commitments, which could help companies adapt to changes occurring throughout the world.
