This paper focuses on the influence of individuals` work values and leadership style of the supervisors on the employees` job satisfaction. The researcher sampled and surveyed the employee in nine companies in Korean electronic industry. And the valid questionnaires being recollected totaled to 1,016. The factor analysis, T-test, Pearson correlation analysis, ANOVA and canonical correlation analysis were used for the statistical methods. The results show that (1) the extent of job satisfaction is different depending on the aptitudes of work values, and all of dimensions of work values are correlated with most dimensions of job satisfaction. (2) The two dimensions of leadership style are correlated with all of dimensions of job satisfaction, but the interaction effect between the consideration and the initiating structure dimension of leadership style are not significant. (3) The `intrinsic value` of work values and leadership style may have interaction effect to job satisfaction. (4) The factors of leadership style are more powerful in predicting job satisfaction than those of work values are. Theoretical and practical implications of such findings, limitations of the study, and future research direction are discussed in the conclusion.
