The purpose of this quantitative, correlational research was to examine to what degree a relationship existed between job satisfaction and organizational commitment among support staff (cafeteria employees) in a higher educational institution in the Caribbean. The study included a sample of 27 full-time cafeteria employees who worked in a private for profit higher educational institution in the Caribbean. Study participants completed two survey instruments, the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ) short form and the Klein Unidimensional Target-free (KUT) scale. The questionnaires were in the form of hard copies. The Spearman rank order coefficient was used to measure the strength and direction of the relationship between the variables of interestjob satisfaction and organizational commitment. Results found that there was a moderate significant positive relationship between overall job satisfaction and overall organizational commitment among cafeteria employees at the for profit higher educational institution.Keywords

In today's healthcare industry the servant leadership model tends to provide a distinctive way through which to examine leadership behaviors and its relationship to job satisfaction among employees. Thus, this current study attempted to investigate the relationship between job satisfaction and servant leadership characteristics in a public health care facility/hospital in the Southern Caribbean. Convenience sampling has been used to draw a sample of public healthcare employees. 50 medical participants completed hard copies of two survey instruments: Executive Servant Leadership Scale (ESLS) developed by Reed, Vidaver-Cohen, and Colwell (2011) and the Job Satisfaction scale developed by Lucas, Babakus, and Ingram (1990). The Pearson's r correlation was used to determine the relationship between these two variables. The results indicated a moderately positive significant relationship between overall job satisfaction and overall servant leadership. That is, rs(50) = 0.493, p < 0.01. Further, the study found that though there was a positive correlation found between the interpersonal support component of servant leadership and job satisfaction. This was rs(50) = 0.535 p < .01. However, a more positive correlation found between the overall and the altruism component of servant leadership. This was rs(50)=0.634, p < .01.Keywords
