    Background: The leadership styles adopted by nursing managers play a pivotal role in shaping nurses' job satisfaction, which in turn affects the quality of healthcare delivery and overall organizational effectiveness. Gaining insight into this connection is essential for enhancing nurse retention and improving patient outcomes. Objectives: This study explored how different leadership styles—transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire—used by nursing managers are related to nurses’ job satisfaction in hospitals across southern Palestine. It specifically aimed to determine the dominant leadership styles, evaluate levels of job satisfaction among nurses, and analyze the correlation between the two. Methods:This cross-sectional study included a sample of 270 nurses employed in public and private hospitals in Hebron and Bethlehem. Data were gathered using the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Descriptive statistics, along with inferential methods such as correlation and regression analyses, were used to analyze the findings Results: Transformational leadership emerged as the most common style (M = 3.28, SD = 1.08), demonstrating a strong positive correlation with job satisfaction (r = 0.631, p < 0.001) and organizational commitment (r = 0.809, p < 0.001). Overall, job satisfaction among nurses was moderate, with intrinsic aspects (e.g., 54.9% satisfied with autonomy) rated more positively than extrinsic ones (e.g., 57% dissatisfied with salary). Transformational leadership was a significant predictor of both job satisfaction and commitment, accounting for 82% of the variance in the regression analysis. Conclusion: Transformational leadership positively influences nurses’ job satisfaction and their commitment to the organization. Healthcare organizations are encouraged to implement leadership development initiatives aimed at strengthening leadership capacity, improving staff retention, and elevating the quality of care. Keywords: Leadership styles, nursing leadership, job satisfaction, transformational leadership, organizational commitment.
