We sometimes use the concept of leadership in explaining influences of others. Leadership is influence to promote goal attainment for individuals or groups and a dynamics between a leader and follower. This study was conducted to ascertain what influence a leadership style cognized by a member of an organization has on a member’s psychological characteristics. We review situational leadership theory in leadership styles and set the concepts of motivation and job satisfaction for psychological variables. We applied a normality test, and a nonparametric multiple comparison test (Steel–Dwass method) to analyze differences based on cognition of leadership styles (N=396). Results confirmed the following: (1) A statistically significant level (1%) of difference was found in work content satisfaction (tied rank corrected H value=12.8735>11.3449=χ2 (0.99); tied rank corrected P value=0.0049<0.01). (2) A statistically significant level (1%) of difference was found in management satisfaction (tied rank corrected H value=27.0649>11.3449=χ2 (0.99); tied rank tied rank corrected P value=0.0000<0.01). The analyses revealed that organization members had awareness, with emphasis on “the level of supportive behavior in interpersonal relationships” for leader behavior. Furthermore, a qualitative analysis based on an additional survey was conducted, which demonstrated that “cognition of leadership styles has a certain level of influence.”
