Increasingly fierce business competition demands that companies effectively manage human resources, including maintaining employee job satisfaction. Job dissatisfaction still frequently occurs in the industrial sector and impacts increased turnover, absenteeism, decreased productivity, and disruptions to operational stability. In this context, transformational leadership and self-efficacy are two psychological factors that have the potential to increase job satisfaction. This study aims to determine the influence of transformational leadership style and self-efficacy on employee job satisfaction. The research used a quantitative method with a causal design, involving 124 employees from the production division thru a saturated sampling technique. Data was collected using job satisfaction scales, transformational leadership scales, and self-efficacy scales, and then analyzed using multiple linear regression. The research results show that the level of job satisfaction among respondents is mostly in the moderate category. Statistically, transformational leadership and self-efficacy have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (R² = 0.424), with the significance values for each variable being < 0.05. This finding confirms that the higher the implementation of transformational leadership and the stronger the employees' self-confidence, the higher the level of job satisfaction. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of the leader's role in creating supportive working relationships, providing motivation, and building a conducive work environment. Additionally, companies are encouraged to strengthen competency development programs to enhance employee self-efficacy in order to support the sustainability of organizational performance.
