Abstract EN

The current study was conducted to investigate the Leadership styles in Saudi universities and their relationship to job burnout among faculty members at Umm Al-Qura University / Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

To achieve the objectives of the study, two scales were applied (burnout scale, and leadership styles scale) on a sample of 157 male and female participants.

Descriptive statistics indicated a high level of exhaustion, and a moderate level of faculty disengagement.

Furthermore, participative leadership style was the most common, followed by structuring leadership style, rewarding leadership style, autocratic leadership style, distant leadership style, and Machiavellian leadership style, respectively.

The results of the multiple regression analysis indicated that participatory and rewarding leadership significantly and negatively related to disengagement, exhaustion and burnout, while the authoritarian and Machiavellian leadership significantly and positively related to disengagement and burnout, and the autocratic leadership significantly and positively related to exhaustion.

The results add important theoretical contributions to knowledge about the relationship between leadership styles and burnout.
