The purpose of the research is to check how good leadership, according to the Herzberg model, affects the level of job satisfaction among the faculty of the selected colleges of physical education and sport sciences. The study was conducted in the form of descriptive-analytic research where a questionnaire comprising two broader dimensions, that is, competent leadership and job satisfaction, was administered to a random selection of 120 teaching staff members. The statistical analysis results showed that effective leadership is significantly positively related to job satisfaction, and the improvement of faculty satisfaction highly relies on the reinforcement of leadership skills.
It is also identified that effective leadership practices are essential in institutes of higher learning, particularly faculties in physical education and sports sciences, because of the influence they have on improving a conducive environment at work and creating the desire to work among the staff. It further proposes particular training programs to develop the leadership capacity of academic leaders, usher in recognition- and motivation-driven strategies, and lessen the institutional climate to be less hard and less intimidating.
