The relationship between job satisfaction and perceived leadership style and employees’ job autonomy will be analyzed. The purpose of this research is to explore the level of respondents’ job, salary, promotion opportunities, employer, colleagues’ satisfaction and overall job satisfaction; respondents’ managers’ perceived leadership styles, employees’ job autonomy level; analyze the relationship between employees’ job, promotion opportunities, employer satisfaction, overall job satisfaction and perceived leader’s leadership style; and the relationship between employees’ overall job satisfaction and their job autonomy. Research methods are: Job Descriptive Index (Smith, Kendall, ir Hulin, 1969); Job Control Scale; Jackson, Wall, Martin, Davis, 1993); Leadership Style Questionnaire (Flood, Hannan, Smith, Turner, West ir Dawson, 2000).
