Abstract

The aims of this study were to identify the level of job satisfaction (JS) and the degree of transformational leadership (TLS) practice in technical colleges in western Libya, as well as detect the impact of TLS on job satisfaction. Additionally, verifying the role of procedural justice (PJ) as a mediating variable between TLS and job satisfaction. Consequently, to achieving the research objectives, the measurement tools were developed depending on previous studies. Moreover, a simple random sample of 159 faculty members was selected. The study found that the level of job satisfaction was medium and conversely of that the level of TLS practice was low. The results showed that TLS has a substantial and positive impact on job satisfaction. It also revealed that procedural justice partially mediates the relationship between TLS and job satisfaction. Finally, the study recommended improving job satisfaction by focusing on encouraging managers to adopt transformational leadership and adopting procedural justice principles.
