The leadership and human resources are two major factors, which cannot be ignored in the substantial growth of higher education institutions. A person joins a higher education institution with motivation and certain intentions, which include job security, good income, and better prospects for professional and personal development in the future. It is the responsibility of the leadership of the institution to be familiar with these basic facts and to take such steps, which not only take the business to the next level, but it should also encourage the employees to push hard for their professional and personal growth. Nevertheless, it is not easy to achieve the objective of lacking proper administration and collective efforts of the workforce. The purpose of this review paper is to highlight the role of leadership, which directly or indirectly makes an impact on the efficiency of human resources to achieve a high level of job satisfaction in Higher Education Institutions.
