Abstract: Organizations nowadays want to succeed in every aspect and the key to achieve it is leadership. The main aim of this article is to empirically check the relationship of role satisfaction with leadership behaviour in Indian organizations. The sample contains responses from 333 business executives and managers. On performing correlation analysis, it is found that all the variables in the study have significant relationship. Subsequently, sequential multiple regressions are performed in order to delete those dimensions that do not contribute towards leadership. The findings revealed that achievement, influence, control and affiliation are observed to be the determinants of leadership. Thus, leadership requires the workforce that is high on role satisfaction. This study identified an essential variable that affects leadership behaviour. It is an innovative attempt to utilize role satisfaction to improve leadership in the Indian framework.
