Effect of Self-leadership Practices on Job Satisfaction among Part-time Adult Learners at Uzima University College, Kisumu, Kenya

Abstract

Certain variables such as job satisfaction appear to be potential outcomes of self-leadership. The question is "Can the knowledge and practice of self-leadership be translated into job-satisfaction for employees in similar situations in Kenyan colleges. In a bid to answer this question 60 adult learners from Uzima University College in Kenya were sampled and standardised leadership questionnaires and the Minnesota Leadership questionnaires administered to them. The questions of the questionnaire had the required reliability. Age and job experience were found to significant factors in self-leadership (p=0.031 and p=0.023 respectively) indicating that the more one is experienced on the job the higher their likelihood of possessing self-leadership skills. The model that was used to identify if there is a relationship between self-leadership and job satisfaction was one way ANOVA which revealed that there is actually a relationship between the two variables since the (p-value 0.0201).
