This study investigated the moderator effect of various task dimensions on the form of the relationship between leaders' behavior and employees' satisfaction with supervision and with the jobs, as postulated by path-goal theory of leadership. Data were collected from five groups of educators: 978 public school teachers, 976 high school teachers, 186 community college instructors, 191 university professors, and 188 student teachers. Instruments included Hackman and Oldham's Job Diagnostic Survey, Stogdill's LBDQ, Form 12, Hoppock's Job Satisfaction Scale, Aiken and Hage's global measure of Supervisory Satisfaction. Hierarchical multiple-regression analyses were performed to test specific hypotheses. The results did not support path-goal theory. The findings were discussed, and implications for research were suggested
