The purpose of this study is to research and examine the relationship between leadership styles and job satisfaction of employees in the food industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina. As a quantitative research study, the survey method is used with a developed questionnaire for the primary data collection. The questionnaire is adopted from valid sources, contributing to leadership and job satisfaction worldwide. Using the convenience sampling method, 210 valid responses are obtained and analyzed using the Software Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Transformational and transactional leadership styles contribute to employees' job satisfaction in food industry companies in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results showed that contingent reward contributes to job satisfaction when it comes to transactional leadership style, while idealized influence, inspirational motivation, intellectual stimulation, and individualized consideration contribute to job satisfaction when the transformational leadership style is practiced. This research can be applied in any company, with particular benefits for human resource management. The practical implications of this research indicate that the answers to the questions asked fully supported the assumption of the importance of choosing leadership style as the company's essence. The findings of this research contribute to the overall image and information on the relationship between leadership styles and job satisfaction. This study also lays the groundwork and serves as a starting point for future research and examining the relationship between leadership styles and job satisfaction. This study's data is useful for Bosnia and Herzegovina's food industry, as there has previously been no data recorded.
