<![CDATA[This research investigates the profound influence of authoritarian leadership on employee job satisfaction within the context of the hotel industry. Through a comprehensive analysis of leadership styles and their impact on various dimensions of employee satisfaction, this study aims to elucidate the critical relationship between leadership practices and organizational well-being. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, quantitative surveys and qualitative assessments were employed to gather insights from a diverse sample of hotel employees across different roles and hierarchical levels. The analysis revealed compelling evidence indicating a significant negative correlation between authoritarian leadership styles and employee job satisfaction. Specifically, dimensions such as autonomy, recognition, communication effectiveness, and growth opportunities displayed consistent negative relationships with authoritarian leadership. Furthermore, the study unveiled nuanced insights into potential mediating factors and demographic variations affecting this relationship, enhancing the understanding of the complex interplay between leadership approaches and employee satisfaction levels. The implications of these findings extend to both hotel management and employees. For leaders and practitioners, the research underscores the imperative to foster more participative, supportive, and employee-centric leadership practices. Recommendations emphasize the necessity to cultivate a collaborative work environment, prioritize employee growth, and adapt strategies to align with employee satisfaction goals. Conversely, for employees, active engagement in advocating open communication, seeking growth opportunities, and participating in feedback mechanisms emerges as instrumental in influencing organizational changes aligned with their satisfaction needs.]]>
