“…According to transformational and transactional leadership theory, leaders greatly impact how their followers complete their work, leading to an increase in overall job satisfaction (Thomas, 2018). Nevertheless, studies have shown that there is insufficient knowledge about which leadership style should be applied in the different entities that exist in the market (Siswanto, 2020). In addition, existing research focuses on the overall leadership style and its influence on various organization productivity and employee reaction; limited studies have not suggested the necessary behaviors that make the leadership successful and/or able to influence employee job satisfaction (Bekele, 2021).…”

This study investigates the impact of leadership style (transformational and transactional) on employees' job satisfaction. A mixed-method approach has been used for data collection. The studied population was employees of the CIT sector in Egypt. Through nonprobability convenience sampling, 388 administrated questionnaires and 10 interviews were accurately collected and analysed. Thematic analysis was chosen to analyse the qualitative data; the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version ( 26) IBM was used to analyse the quantitative data. The findings of the study support that transformational and transactional leadership styles significantly affect job satisfaction among employees in a positive manner. The study is limited to the examination of two leadership styles, neglecting other styles that could affect employees' job satisfaction levels. This study is limited to assessing employees of the CIT sector, neglecting employees in different fields. The findings of this study contribute to providing a guideline model to top management that illustrates the significant leadership style that impacts employee job satisfaction. In addition, this study guides the specific behaviours needed from each leadership style in order to be significant in influence.

“…We guess that love of money is a root of an employee's unethical behavior through the mediation mechanism toward the perception of corruption (Ciziceno & Travaglino, 2019). This study uses the positivist paradigm that examines the causality effect between each research variable (Siswanto, Masyhuri, Maksum & Murdiansyah, 2020). This study examines the direct effect between the love of money to unethical behavior, also this study examines the indirect effect of perception of corruption between the love of money and unethical behavior.…”

Many studies about unethical behavior (evil behavior) in the workplace have underlying various research related to love of money and perception of corruption as in this research. One of the main ideas that emerged is “The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil” Timothy, 6:10. In most studies, there is a gap and lack of prior research involving the mechanism of indirect effect between the love of money behavior and unethical behavior in public sector institutions. In this research, we focus on the role of mediation between the perception of corruption and love of money toward unethical behavior. The researcher spread the questionnaire for obtained 149 respondents who are an employee from the public sector institution. Meanwhile, the research method that we use is a quantitative study, which allows for doing the study with a fast time and broad generalizability. We find that perception of corruption could partially mediate the effect between the love of money and unethical behavior in public sector employees. This study proves that employees who work in public sector institutions have a corruption perception that can trigger evil behavior. employees who have a strong orientation towards money are more likely to try to earn more money to enrich themselves, and then employees engage in unethical behavior.
