Abstract

Education is the foundation of China’s centenary plan, and teachers are the foundation of education. This paper explores the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction at Hainan Vocational College. This article uses the 4I model to describe the 4 dimensions of transformational leadership in vocational colleges, and uses SPSS statistical software to study the mediating role of organizational support and its dimensions in the relationship between transformational leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction. Research has confirmed that transformational leadership has a positive contribution to teachers’ job satisfaction; That is to say, the stronger the principal’s leadership is perceived by teachers in their work, the higher their job satisfaction. The results of this study provide a new strategy for education administrative departments and schools to improve teacher job satisfaction; That is to say, if the individual characteristics of vocational school teachers cannot be changed, strengthening the leadership of vocational school principals can have a positive impact on teachers’ job satisfaction.
