This quantitative correlational study was performed to examine the predictive relationship between leadership behaviors and the overall job satisfaction of adjunct faculty who teach online classes at a for-profit university in the Midwest United States. The theoretical foundations for this study included the Full-Range Leadership theory, Herzberg's Motivator-Hygiene theory and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. The researcher collected primary data via online survey from a purposive non-random sample of 77 online adjunct faculty using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire 5x, which measured perceptions of transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership, and Spector's Job Satisfaction Survey, which measured perceptions of overall job satisfaction. Simple regression analysis found transformational leadership was a significant positive predictor of job satisfaction, F (1, 75) = 30.26, p < 0.01, adjusted R2 = 0.29, beta = 0.54, t = 5.50, p < 0.01. The regression model accounted for approximately 29% of the variance in overall job satisfaction. Laissez-faire leadership was a significant negative predictor, F (1, 75) = 12.07, p = 0.01, beta = -0.37, t = -3.47, p = 0.01. The regression model accounted for approximately 13% of the variance in overall job satisfaction. Transactional leadership was not a significant predictor of overall job satisfaction, F (1, 75) = 0.03, p = 0.86, adjusted R2 < 0.01, beta = -0.02, t = -0.18, p = 0.86. The findings of this study revealed that adjunct faculty who participated in this study were more satisfied when their direct superior used transformational leadership.
