The study reported in this article examines the relationship between management leadership and employee job satisfaction. Based on 30 participants, self-report survey questionnaires are used for data collection. Results show that a significant, moderate, and positive correlation (ρ = .73, p = .000) exists between employees' ratings of their managers' leadership skills and employees' job satisfaction. A significant relationship (ρ = .39, p = .030) exists between employees' ratings of importance of leadership strategies at civilian personnel advisory centers and job satisfaction of general schedule employees. Employees' job satisfaction is observed to be significantly positively correlated with the employees' rating of management leadership. The work highlights the importance of adequate training in soft skills as well as hard skills leaders.

The purpose of this study was to determine if IS managers were familiar with the basic concepts /tools and potential benefits of TQM. This was accomplished by administering a questionnaire to a sample of IS managers who currently work for business units. The results have implications for both IS managers and researchers. IS managers were familiar with the language of TQM, but did not really understand its underlying philosophies and/or principles. The IS manager must be willing to commit to the TQM strategy for the long run. Also, most IS managers believed that top management leadership is a critical factor in their success.
