Abstract
This research sought to investigate the link between Chinese rural school administrators' leadership philosophies and their employees' level of satisfaction. The researchers examined the connection between job happiness and leadership styles using a variety of ideas. To analyse the data, they used information from 1438 instructors and 151 rural schools. The findings demonstrated that, whereas passive avoidant leadership had a negative correlation with work satisfaction, transformational leadership practices raised teachers' levels of job satisfaction. Additionally, the research found that the emotional aspect of workers' commitment to the organization tempered some relationships between leadership styles and job satisfaction. Certain leadership styles were associated with all components of national culture, except for masculinity. The results suggest that when putting leadership ideas into practice in rural schools, educators and legislators should take these findings into account. To fully comprehend the intricate connection between leadership philosophies and work happiness in remote schools, further investigation is required.
