This study investigated the relationship between perceived satisfaction with leadership in selected organizational processes and managerial philosophies of subordinates and superordinates. Independent variables were determined by the Managerial Philosophies Scale. Perceived satisfaction with leadership was measured by the Diagnostic Survey for Leadership Improvement. Subjects were 66 department heads and 186 members of one university in Thailand. Analysis of variance yielded no statistically significant relationship between managerial philosophies of subordinates and superordinates as defined by McGregor's Theory X-Theory Y and perceived satisfaction with leadership.
