SATISFACTION Submitted by Mohd Rozi Ismail School of Education

Hughes et al. (1999) asserted that creative and transformational leaders create a positive
relationship between teachers and principals, which affects everyone’s overall job satisfaction. 98
Teacher 3 said that his principal is a good example for how to become a better teacher. The principal
is efficient, focused, fair, and a good leader, which makes him enjoyable to work for.

Bass dan Avolio (1990) dalam Shuymee Ahmad (2015) menyatakan terdapat kolerasi positif
antara pengurusan melalui pengecualian aktif dengan keberkesanan organisasi. Dapatan ini
disokong juga (Howell dan Hall-Merenda, 1999; Shuymee Ahmad, 2015) yang melaporkan
wujud perhubungan positif yang kuat antara pengurusan melalui pengecualian aktif dengan
prestasi pengikut apabila pemimpin secara fizikalnya berada berhampiran dengan pekerja.
