ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between transformational leadership style and teachers’ job satisfaction as moderated by perceived organizational politics in Lahore public secondary schools. The study’s population consisted of teaching staff from public secondary schools in Lahore. The target population of the study consisted of teachers from Lahore’s 1123 public secondary schools. In contrast, Lahore Cantt had 55 public schools, 32 of which were for females and 23 of which were for males. Teachers from 55 public schools were an accessible population. In this study, a correlational research design was used. A sample was drawn using a multistage sampling technique. The data was gathered using a multifactor leadership questionnaire (MLQ), a job satisfaction scale, and a perceived organizational politics scale. The data was analyzed using inferential statistics (Pearson r and process macro for moderation analysis). It was discovered that there is a positive relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, whereas organizational politics does not moderate the relationship between the two. Along with the same or different mediators or moderators, it may be worthwhile to investigate the relationships between additional factors such as transactional leadership style and job satisfaction, employee performance, and employee engagement.
