Among the diverse outcome variables of leadership, job satisfaction has been widely related to authentic leadership in scientific literature. For example, in a study conducted in 11 multinationals Walumbwa et al. (2008) found that followers’perception of authentic leadership of their supervisors was positively related to followers’ job satisfaction. More recently,Giallonardo, Wong, and Iwasiw (2010) examined this relationship in a sample of 170 graduate nurses finding that nurses paired with leaders perceived as authentic, feel more engaged and are more satisfied. Similarly, a positive relationship between authentic leadership and job satisfaction was found by Wong and Laschinger
(2012) in a sample of 280 nurses. Consequently, the following hypothesis is proposed:
H3: Authentic leadership will be positively related to employees’satisfaction.
