of their jobs such as the kind of work they do, their coworkers, supervisors or
subordinates and their pay (George et al., 2008). Locke and Lathan (1976) give a

AND RECOMMENDATIONS
What is the profile of the respondents in terms of: age, sex, years, of service, civil
status and educational attainment, how may the job satisfaction of the respondents
be described in terms of: job flexibility, engagement, and personal freedom, how
may the leadership practices of managers be described as perceived by the
respondents in terms of: transformational leadership, transactional leadership and
laissez-faire leadership, is there a significant relationship between leadership
practices of managers and job satisfaction level of the crew members.
Findings
The data were analyzed and the following findings were formulated in
accordance with the specific questions given under the statement of the
