Abstract

This study aimed at establishing the relationship between the dimensions of leadership styles and employees’ job satisfaction in hospitality industry in Nigeria. This study was prompted by reports of high labour turnover in this sector of the economy (especially in the guesthouses), because of reduction in the satisfaction of the workforce. Cross-sectional research design which is quantitative in nature, was the methodology adopted for this study to assess the trends of relationships between the constructs. Questionnaire was used as the measuring instrument, and reliability and validity test for the instrument were established using cronbach alpha, for all the variables ranging between 71% and 89%. The study population comprises 410 employees in the six selected functioning guesthouses, which also represents the study sample. Total enumeration sampling technique was adopted. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software package (version 22) was used for the analysis of the data. The field dataset is available to the public for more rigorous, extensive, critical and extended analysis.

3. Experimental Design, Material and Method

The focus of this study was on six (6) well-functioning Universities’ guesthouses in southwest, Nigeria. The population of the employees working in the selected guesthouses is four hundred and ten (410); they were all taken as the sample because of the small size, and also for adequate representation. However, total enumeration method was the sampling technique [1]. Pen and paper questionnaire were used for gathering quantitative data. Data on demographic characteristics of the respondents were obtained, so also, data on idealised influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, individualised consideration, contingent reward, management by exception (active), management by exception (passive) and employees’ job satisfaction were gathered. The measuring instruments were obtained from extant literature [2]; [3]. The data revealed a meaningful effect of the dimensions of transformational and transactional leadership styles on employees’ job satisfaction among employees of the selected guesthouses in southwest, Nigeria. The data gathered were coded and analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. Descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) and stepwise regression were applied in the analysis.
