Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated significant correlations between leadership style and job satisfaction, considering both extrinsic and intrinsic parameters.

Work experience had a negative correlation with satisfaction with promotion prospects (r = −0.14, p < 0.001), suggesting that more experienced teachers tend to be less satisfied with their prospects for career advancement. Transformational and personalized leadership styles were positively correlated with job satisfaction. Transformational leadership exhibited a strong positive correlation with satisfaction from the administration, colleagues, and working conditions (r = 0.785, p < 0.001).
