Leadership has occasionally intrigued the bibliography because of the interest it causes as a subject and the effect it has on people's everyday lives. The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the exercise of the transformational leadership model in health units in Greece has a positive or negative effect on employee satisfaction. In the context of this research, factors that positively affect employee satisfaction are identified as well as factors that respond to and apply to transformational leadership.
The significance of the research lies in the plethora of surveys dealing with leadership in general and transformational leadership in particular, especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis of the past decade and its link to job satisfaction.
The research methodology was based, on the one hand, on the formulation of some research cases based on secondary literature data and on the empirical research with the use of a questionnaire to confirm or reject these research cases. For this purpose mainly foreign-language published surveys were used, from which the two parts of the questionnaire on job satisfaction (TSI questionnaire) and the transformative leadership model (MLQ questionnaire) were drawn. In the first case, five dimensions of professional satisfaction concerning the administrator, the colleagues, the nature of the work, the patients and the working conditions were examined and in the latter case five dimensions of the transformational model of leadership concerning the idealized influence derived from the characteristics and the leader's behavior, the inspired motivation, the spiritual stimulation and the individual examination. The statistical analysis of the collected data was carried out with the help of Microsoft Excel for the
descriptive statistical analysis and with the help of the SPSS 20.0 statistic package for the inductive statistical analysis. The sample consisted of 70 employees at the University Hospital of Ioannina randomly sampled.
The results of the survey revealed that there is a statistically significant and positive relationship between transformational leadership and job satisfaction, and there are specific demographic and other characteristics (independent variables) that can differentiate work satisfaction. However, there is no relationship between the characteristics of the leadership model followed in this case and the job satisfaction.
In subsequent research it will be interesting to investigate a larger sample of a larger number of health units or even apply the same methodology to the management of the selected health unit to produce comparable results between the leadership's perspective and the perspective of the followers.
