Abstract
This paper presents the results of research of the effects of leadership on job satisfaction of teachers. It is shown that leadership has a strong and positive impact on job satisfaction of teachers in primary schools in Serbia. The strongest influences have the following dimensions of leadership: Contingent reward behavior, Intellectual Stimulation and Core transformational leader behavior. The moderating effect of gender and age of teachers to the observed relationship was examined. The moderating effect of years of teachers has been confirmed in a few relations, so we can say that there is a slight moderating effect on the relationship between teachers' years on leadership and job satisfaction. Primary schools principals in Serbia should devote considerable attention to developing leadership skills and improving knowledge management. In this way it is possible to achieve increased job satisfaction of teachers, which potentially creates conditions for better and effective functioning of schools.
