This quantitative study explored the relationship between perceived leadership behaviors and follower satisfaction, accounting for demographic variables like gender, age, education, and role. The research collected data from 234 faculty and staff members using three surveys. The demographic survey captured information on the follower's gender, age, education, and role. The "Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire" (LBDQ; Stogdill, 1963) was used to assess perceived leadership behavior, Initiation of Structure, and Consideration. Satisfaction levels--Intrinsic, Extrinsic, and General--were measured using the "Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire" (MSQ; Weiss et al., 1967). Statistical analyses, including correlation, regression analysis, and t-tests, were conducted to identify the predictors of satisfaction. The findings indicated that age, gender, and Consideration significantly influenced Intrinsic and General Satisfaction. Specifically, the model including age and gender accounted for 8.2% of the variance in satisfaction (R[superscript 2] = 0.082), while the addition of Consideration increased the explained variance to 39.0% (R[superscript 2] = 0.390), highlighting its predictive power. Furthermore, Consideration alone was a strong predictor of Extrinsic Satisfaction, explaining 34.7% of the variance (R[superscript 2] = 0.347). All models achieved statistical significance at the p < 0.05 level. The study highlights the critical role of Consideration in leadership for follower satisfaction and sets the stage for future research on enhancing leadership behaviors in post-secondary environments.
