Abstract
The present study has aimed at identifying the relationship between transformational
leadership and job satisfaction of registered nurses at Jordanian private hospitals, the
population of the study consisted of registered nurses at private hospitals located in
Amman (capital of Jordan). There have been 200 surveys mailed out to registered
nurses. One hundred and sixty eight usable surveys have been returned with an 83%
response rate. Regarding transformational leadership, the survey was adapted from
the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The Minnesota Satisfaction
Questionnaire (MSQ) developed by Weiss (1967) was adapted to measure the two
factors of job satisfaction.
The present study has shown a statistically significant positive relationship existing
between the five dimensions of transformational leadership and the two dimensions
of job satisfaction, the strongest relationship between internal job satisfaction and
transformational leadership has been visible among the intellectual stimulation
dimension.
