This study was designed to identify the leadership styles of principals practiced by them in colleges for women and to find out the relationship between leadership styles and level of job satisfaction. The data were collected by using the Survey method from the selected sample comprised of 1005 college teachers from 100 colleges all over the Punjab. Leadership style was identified using leadership style questionnaire and job satisfaction was measured by using job satisfaction questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the help of descriptive and inferential statistics. The major findings revealed that democratic leadership style is the most practiced leadership style in women colleges and this style has a positive and significant correlation with job satisfaction. Democratic leadership style also has a positive effect on teachers’ job satisfaction  \nKeywords: Job satisfaction, leadership styles, principals  \n*PhD Scholar, UMT, Lahore, [Pakistan.

With respect to the Pakistani scenario, Iqbal (2012) points out that the quality of education being imparted in education institutions at various stages is far from the satisfactory level. One of the reasons for low performance of the system in this respect is an inefficient administrative infrastructure, lack of leadership as well as ineffective communication system in the country. He reports that in Pakistan, heads of educational institutions, both at school and college levels are not trained in educational leadership affairs. Moreover, he says that in the education system heads are appointed due to their political powers instead of skills and qualities required to develop a conducive learning environment for better teaching and learning within the institutions.  \nLeadership is the core element of educational institutions. In today’s educational system leadership is becoming gradually more important. Colleges need powerful or effective leaders or principals willing to foster high level of students’ achievement and effective organizational climate of their colleges. The principal is the high official in the college. Thus, responsibility of running the college is that of the principal (Freiberg & Stein, 1999) . According to Dunklee (2000), principal or leader influences the behavior and academic outcomes of the student. The principal of the college is torch bearer of the values and activities of his / her institution.  \nRaza (2010) points out that every college has a climate of its own. In every college system, the interaction between the principal and the teachers decide or contribute to a large extent in developing the atmosphere or the climate of their colleges. This climate affects the behavior of the individuals living and working in the environment which influences their performance and satisfaction with their jobs.  \nLeadership in the educational institutions such as colleges is a key factor for the improvement and effectiveness of college climate and job satisfaction of its employees. Educational leaders perform multi-dimensional roles in schools and colleges and enhance job satisfaction of their colleagues (Northhouse, 2007) . Generally, it is noticed that in the present situation, teachers have no clear idea about which leadership style is being practiced","cbCaivPJp9OI3Y5t","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivPJp9OI3Y5t","pdf",144243,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Background of the Study","[{\"question\":\"What is the main focus of the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study examines the relationship between principals’ leadership styles and teachers’ job satisfaction in women colleges in Punjab.\"},{\"question\":\"How were the data collected and measured?\",\"answer\":\"Data were collected using a survey method from 1005 college teachers.
