A satisfied member is more productive and successful in an associated group. Subordinates will be more fulfilled if they are dealt with well. leadership styles can enormously affect associated group members from various angles and aspects, yet it is hard to tell what kind of leadership style is appropriate when and where. To further study this problem, the present research aims to identify which types of leadership style most preferred towards group assignment satisfaction among university students. Using convenience sampling technique, a total of 323 responses were collected from both diploma and degree levels of FSR students in UiTM Seremban, Negeri Sembilan. The result showed that there is no significance difference (p-value = .188) regarding autocratic style but have significance differences on democratic styles (p-value = .001) and laisser-faire (p-value = .001) between gender. Correlation analysis was used to analyze the data collected and identify the relationship between leadership styles and group assignment satisfaction. Correlation coefficient showed that there was high relationship (.713), p=.001<.05 between the leadership style and satisfaction construct. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Future research should focus on different ventures either in private or government employees to get more precise information assortment about their manager’s leadership styles.
