The study explores on the extent of leader motivating language on job satisfaction of faculty members in terms of direction-giving, empathy and meaning-making language. Descriptive type of research was utilized in the study. Results showed that there is a great extent on how leaders are keeping the faculty members updated with the organization’s accomplishments and expressing leaders’ support for employee development and recognizing faculty as an individual that makes them feel satisfied at work. The group of faculty members with shorter length of service has significantly higher level of perception regarding the extent of leader motivating language affecting job satisfaction compared to the group with 20 and above years of service. It confirms the theory of Maslow in the Hierarchy of Needs where people can only be satisfied if they are receiving something valuable based on their required capacity and expected level or higher achievement to fulfil their needs.
