ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to determine the level of transformational leadership, organizational climate, employee satisfaction in the University of San Agustin and examine how transformational leadership and organizational climate relate with employee satisfaction. The study used the descriptive-correlational research design. One hundred twenty-eight (128) faculty members were selected using the convenience sampling. The adopted data-gathering instruments were administered for data collection. The results showed that the faculty members assessed the top management with a very good transformational leadership. The higher educational institution was also assessed with a very good organizational climate by the faculty members who likewise rated their employment condition as satisfied. Upon closer examination, a significant difference existed in the assessment of the level of organizational climate when the respondents were classified according to educational attainment. The same significant difference existed in the level of employee satisfaction when they were classified according to assigned colleges. One’s assessment of the level of organizational climate and level of employee satisfaction have significant relationship with each other. Faculty members are eager to give their best when provided with an exceptional work environment and a good relationship with their colleagues which may result in low employee turnover.
