This study examined the (1) relationship and influence of power distance culture on perceived leadership practices, and (2) the relationship between perceived leadership practices and job satisfaction of the employees working in the three Japanese owned factories in China namely: Hitachi Groups, Toshiba Machine (Shanghai), Asahi Kasei and other six groups from Hitachi Groups. Sample population of this study included 289 employees.
Four research questions and hypotheses were developed. SPSS software was applied to run the data. Linear regression analysis and multiple regression analysis were mainly used to test the hypotheses. The results showed that power distance culture had no influence on perceived leadership practices. And modeling the way and inspiring a shared vision leadership practices had significant relationships with job satisfaction. Based on the findings, this study suggested the important managerial implications and future research recommendations in the conclusion.
