Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effects of leadership style and empowerment on job satisfaction and performance in Madura's traditional jamu centres. The study employed a questionnaire to collect data from 69 workers. The findings, with T-Statistics (3.755) > T-Table (1.96), demonstrated that leadership style had a favourable and substantial impact on performance. However, according to T-Statistics (0.843) < T-Table (1.96), leadership style did not significantly impact satisfaction. T-Statistics (11.138) exceeded T-Table (1.96), suggesting a significant and positive influence of empowerment on performance. T-Statistics (1.167) revealed that empowerment had no discernible impact on commitment. < T-Table 1.96. T-Statistics (3.459) > T-Table (1.96) indicates a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction and performance. Job satisfaction was a major mediating factor in the effect of empowerment on performance, but it was not a mediating factor in the impact of leadership style on performance. Madura's traditional jamu centres could benefit from this research by selecting a leadership style and giving their staff more authority.
