This study aimed to investigate and compare the impact of transformational leadership and the impact of transactional leadership, on job satisfaction among workers at Istiklal Private Hospital in Amman-Jordan. To fulfill this objective, the researcher developed two hypotheses to be tested using multiple regression analysis as a tool for data analysis. Data for this research was collected using a questionnaire developed for this purpose and distributed to the sample and a response rate of around 80.6% was realized. The data was entered and analyzed using the SPSS version 25 statistical program. Findings indicated that the transformational and transactional leadership styles both have a significant impact on the employees' job satisfaction. But the effect of the transactional style was more significant than the transformational style. The descriptive statistics results showed that the level of job satisfaction has a high mean value, which means that most of the employees in the private hospital in Amman-Jordan were satisfied with their job. The current study gives some direction to carry out future research for studying different leadership styles, in different contexts and cultures. The results indicated that the leadership style does not alone affect employee satisfaction, and the researcher would like to recommend a further research study on other factors such as wages, training, job growth, the environment, and others to understand the extent of the impact of these factors on employee satisfaction.
