Abstract
The aim of this research was to investigate the link between the level of employee satisfaction and the philosophy of leadership of Chinese rural school administrators. The researchers examined the connection between job happiness and leadership ideologies using a variety of ideas. They used data from 151 rural schools and 1438 teachers to examine it. The findings demonstrated that, whereas avoidant passive leadership had a negative relationship with work satisfaction, transformational leadership practices enhanced teachers' job satisfaction. The study also found that the emotional component of employees' loyalty to the company moderated several correlations between leadership styles and job satisfaction. Every aspect of national culture, apart from masculinity, was associated with certain leadership philosophies. The findings suggest that educators and policymakers should consider these findings when implementing leadership principles in rural schools. More research is necessary to completely understand the complex relationship between job satisfaction and leadership ideologies in distant schools.
