Abstract
This study used the reformulated path-goal theory introduced by House in
1996 to examine the effect of leadership styles on subordinate job
satisfaction in the Egyptian hotels. The moderating effects of task structure
and organizational culture on the relationship between the two parties were
also examined. Questionnaire survey distributed to 400 employees in five
star hotels in Cairo and Sharm el-Sheikh. The study found that the order of
the levels of leadership styles adopted by hotel managers as perceived by
subordinates from the lowest to the highest was: group-oriented decision,
representation and networking, value based, work facilitation, supportive,
interaction facilitation, achievement- oriented, to path-goal clarifying. On
the other hand, representation and networking and achievement- oriented
styles have the highest effect on subordinate’s job satisfaction. In addition,
task structure and organizational culture have a moderating effect, and the
motivation has a mediating effect on the relationship between leadership
style and the subordinate’s job satisfaction. As a result, hotel properties
should consider establishing a leadership development program with
specific emphasis on certain styles such as representation and networking,
value-based, and work facilitation leadership styles to improve the
organizational environment and the quality of life for employees.
