Muqaddas Mehmood
Abstract: The advancement of online education has made it more challenging for researchers to adapt to digital teaching techniques while sustaining their high levels of effectiveness. Administrative leadership has a major influence on professional experiences in this respect. This quantitative study explores the relationship between administrative leadership techniques and faculty job satisfaction in online learning settings. Data was collected from faculty members of several online universities using standardized questionnaires. There was a moderate to high positive relationship (r =.60, p <.001) between leadership practices and faculty job satisfaction, representing that effective administrative leadership significantly surges faculty morale and professional fulfillment. Through conceptual understanding and applied tactics for institutional improvement, this study is a growing body of research on leadership in online higher education.
