Background: Nurses' attitudes and satisfaction with their job are significantly influenced by their head nurses
and staff. Therefore, the success of each attempt depends on transformational leadership. Aim: To investigate the
relationship between transformational leadership style and job Satisfactions among nurses at EL-Sinbellawin General
Hospital. Method: A descriptive, correlational research design was utilized with a sample of (48) head nurse and (200)

Questionnaire and McCloskey/Mueller Satisfaction Scale. Results: The highest (91.1%) mean percentage was related to
idealized influence (attribute) as characteristics of transformational leadership. While, intellectual stimulation was the
lowest (85.0%) mean percentage as characteristics of transformational leadership as perceived by head nurses. While, the
highest (78.9%) mean percentage was related to idealized influence (behavior), intellectual stimulation was the lowest
(65.0%) mean percentage as characteristics of transformational leadership as perceived by staff nurses as characteristics
of transformational leadership. And more than half of studied staff nurses perceived job satisfaction at high level.
Conclusion: There was highly statistically significant positive correlation between transformational leadership style and
