| dc.description.abstract | The act of achieving and accomplishing organizational goals and objectives rests greatly on the leader of the organization and his/her style of leadership. The employee‟s job satisfaction, commitment, and high productivity is seen when an appropriate leadership style is adopted. This research investigated the correlation between the church leadership and pastor job satisfaction at Aworowa District of the Seventh-day Adventist church. A qualitative data obtained from the selected interviewees; senior pastors, junior pastors, church elders, and some workers in MidNorth Ghana Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist church were analysed. The outcome of the research indicated that, pastors and elders as leaders within the scope of study exhibit autocratic leadership attributes rather than servanthood-leadership. The research found that, there was limited level of job satisfaction among pastors. The pastors were not satisfied with coworker relationship and others also complained bitterly on issues of their payment. Those who work with the pastors, also, complained about some behaviours of some pastors that make them dissatisfied about their noble work. It was, also, found that servanthood-leadership, all-inclusive leadership, mentorship leadership and stewardship leadership when combined in pastoral work, have positive influence on the job satisfaction of the pastors and the entire leadership set up. It is being recommended that, there should be combination of different leadership styles to improve the wellbeing of the employees because the impact of leadership style could cause either job satisfactionor dissatisfaction. | |
