| Summary: | This study aims to determine the relationships between leadership style, job satisfaction,
and organizational commitment within the context of a pesantren in Indonesia. In
specific, there were five research objectives. First, to determine the level of charismatic,
transformational, and autocratic leadership styles among the Kyai. Second, to examine
the effects of charismatic, transformational, and autocratic leadership styles on job
satisfaction. Third, to examine the effects of charismatic, transformational, and
autocratic leadership styles on organizational commitment. Fourth, to examine the
effect of job satisfaction on organizational commitment. Fifth, to assess the mediating
role of job satisfaction between charismatic, transformation, and autocratic leadership
styles with organizational commitment. The quantitative methodology and correlational
research design was employed. Research data were collected through a questionnaire
from 556 educators from four branches of Pesantren Darunnajah, Indonesia.
Respondents were selected using the cluster sampling technique. The questionnaire was
developed based on the previously established scales. The data were analyzed using
multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses. Hierarchical regression analysis was
applied to test the mediation hypotheses. It was found that there was a significant
relationship between charismatic leadership (β: 0.112, t: 4.318), transformational
leadership (β: 0.753, t: 28.012), autocratic leadership (β: 0.082, t: 3.314) and
organizational commitment. Charismatic leadership (β: 0.104, t: 4.275),
transformational leadership (β: 0.769, t: 30.601), and autocratic leadership (β: 0.112; t:
4.832) also had significant relationships with job satisfaction. In addition, job
satisfaction had a significant relationship with organizational commitment. Finally, job
satisfaction mediated between charismatic leadership, transformational leadership, and
autocratic leadership with organizational commitment. This study extends the literature
about the relationships between charismatic, transformational, and autocratic leadership
styles with job satisfaction and organizational commitment in the context of pesantren
in Indonesia. It also contributes empirical evidence on the role of job satisfaction as a
mediator in the relationships. |
