Abstract

This study examined the combined mediating effects of employee motivation and employee wellbeing on the relationship between transformational leadership of school heads and job satisfaction among public school teachers. Using a descriptive-correlational quantitative design with path analysis, data were gathered through a validated survey and analyzed using mean, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. Results showed very high levels of transformational leadership, motivation, wellbeing, and job satisfaction. Significant relationships existed among these variables, with motivation and wellbeing partially mediating the link between transformational leadership and job satisfaction. Findings highlight the importance of transformational leadership in fostering motivated, healthy, and satisfied teachers through supportive and inspiring school leadership practices. This study supports UN Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 8, promoting good health and well-being, inclusive quality education, and decent work with professional development for all.
