Organizational success hinges on the performance and satisfaction of its employees, with leadership styles, job satisfaction, and related factors playing pivotal roles. The literature review synthesizes empirical findings from various studies to elucidate the complex relationships between leadership, job satisfaction, and organizational performance. Saharso and Fadilah (2024) highlight the influence of transformational leadership, work environment, and job satisfaction on employee performance. Qaralleh et al. (2023) emphasize the positive correlation between job resources and job satisfaction among physicians. Setiawan et al. (2024) underscore the impact of leadership styles on employee performance. However, Cendiawan and Indradewa (2024) suggest an indirect effect of transformational leadership on employee performance through job satisfaction. Sjahruddin et al. (2024) and Ernawati and Abadi (2024) emphasize the role of employee engagement and organizational support in enhancing performance. The research methodology involves a comprehensive literature review, identifying relevant articles, and conducting thematic analysis. The research framework explores the relationships between leadership style, job satisfaction, and organizational performance, underpinned by Social Exchange Theory. The framework posits leadership style and job satisfaction as critical independent variables, impacting organizational performance through employee engagement, work climate, and commitment. Theoretical gaps include the need to explore lesser-studied leadership styles, the impact of digital transformation, and cultural factors. Future research should focus on integrating multiple leadership styles, considering contextual factors, and adopting a holistic approach to performance metrics. In conclusion, this study contributes valuable insights for organizational leaders and managers seeking to optimize employee satisfaction and drive organizational success. By fostering supportive work environments that enhance employee engagement and commitment, organizations can achieve sustainable performance outcomes.
