| description | Background and objective: Today, the roles of leaders and employees
have become crucial for corporate performance, with leaders having a significant
effect on employees. This study aimed to analyze leaders’ effect on employees’
job satisfaction. It also aimed to analyze the effect of employees’ depression
and job autonomy on the relationship between leaders’ roles and employees’ job
satisfaction by employment type.
Materials and methods: In total, 24,327 cases from the 5th Korean Working Conditions
Survey were analyzed; the established hypotheses were tested using partial least
squares structural equation modeling.
Results: In both regular and non-regular employees, the leader’s role
had a positive effect on job satisfaction. Job autonomy and depression had a
mediating effect. The effect of the leader’s role on job autonomy was greater in
regular employees compared to non-regular employees; however, the effect of the
leader’s role on depression was greater in non-regular employees.
Conclusions: For non-regular employees, the expansion of job autonomy
is limited due to the nature of their work. This implies that the greater focus
of leaders should be on reducing depression resulting in increasing employees’
job satisfaction. For regular employees, the leaders’ focus should be on
expanding job autonomy, which will be effective in increasing employees’ job
satisfaction. |
