Abstract
This research aimed to clarify the democratic leadership impact on the job satisfaction of Saudi school teachers abroad, by studying the direct impact of the principles of democratic leadership (delegation, participation, human relations) on job satisfaction from the teacher’s point of view themselves. The research counted on the descriptive analytical approach. Furthermore, the researcher used the questionnaire as a tool for collecting data by applying it to a random bunch consisting of (179) male and female teachers from Saudi schools abroad during the academic year 2023/2024 AD. In order to process the research data, the statistical package program (SPSS) was used as well as multiple linear correlation was applied to measure the relationship among the research variables. The results showed that there is a positive correlation between the application of democratic leadership and job satisfaction among male and female teachers in Saudi schools abroad. Additionally, the most influential dimension of democratic leadership on job satisfaction among teachers in Saudi schools abroad is (the human relations dimension). Considering these results, the research included several recommendations for those who are in charge of the Saudi educational system in general, The most important of which is that the Ministry of Education is interested in strengthening the concepts of democratic leadership in schools at their various stages, by holding more training courses and workshops.
