Job satisfaction has an effective role in employee service delivery and performance. It enhances creativity levels, work experience, and organizational work output among staff. Therefore, Job satisfaction is considered an aggregate of work environment elements that constitute an organization’s internal principle on how employees interact with the employer. Different leadership styles have different effects on the level of employee job satisfaction. The public higher education sector in Kenya has over the years been blamed for poor service delivery and employee performance, which may be attributable to the type of leadership styles in higher learning institutions. This study, therefore, examined leadership styles and job satisfaction among the employees of public offices in Kenya to determine the influence of transformational leadership style on job satisfaction among employees. The study involved a sample of 197 employees who were randomly selected from a population of 386 employees. This sample comprised teaching staff and non-teaching staff. After acquiring a research permit from the relevant bodies, two sets of structured questionnaires were used to collect data, the supervised employees’ questionnaire, and the supervisors’ questionnaire. Data obtained was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 26.0. The study revealed that, in the transformational leadership style, leadership through idealized influence by inspirational motivation significantly influenced job satisfaction. To expand the understanding of the influence of leadership styles on job satisfaction among employees, the researcher recommends further research work based on larger samples across different universities in Kenya and Africa. This will help to explain better the proper pattern of interactions among variables of the study.
