Abstract
In this article the author discusses research he conducted that examined the relationship between leadership style and the supervisor-subordinate relationship. He hypothesized that workers who reported higher levels of task variety, identity, significance, autonomy and motivating potential would also have higher levels of job satisfaction, be more satisfied with their supervisor, have less absence and have lower rates of turnover. The findings supported the author's hypothesis in all areas except absence which was not found to be significantly correlated with the suggested measures.
