The soaring of vox populi and the rising development of mass media made the management within the military supervised more rigidly that impacted heavily on the leadership of cadres, whenever they want to dictate or make decision, they must be more cogitative so as to prevent from any aftereffect. Nevertheless, democracy is no big stumbling block of leadership. It’s a cold steel that could facilitate the military to build up a modernized army with equity and justice. And military police is the model arm of the armed forces, especially responsible for both military law and judicial polices, therefore they should be the model of all forces. To ensure that every task is achieved smoothly and successfully, it would depend on elite quality of the ranks and file in the military police and excellent leadership of cadres, while both conditions are matched, certainly could any task be achieved successfully. This study would take the volunteers in infrastructural military police troop as subjects to explore the relationship between leadership style and job satisfaction, and aim at the variables of personal background to approach the relationship between those variables and leadership style & job satisfaction. The study issued 329 questionnaires basically to the battalions and companies in infrastructural military police troop, and received 328 back (which made the response rate 99.7%) of which 281 were effective questionnaires (effective response rate 85.7%). After processed by factor analysis, reliability analysis, descriptive statistic analysis, ANOVA, Correlation Analysis and model test, the results were as follows: I.Among the relationships between the variables of personal background and leadership style, only status of marriage showed significant difference: both in the recognitions of considerate and constitutional style of leadership, the married were higher than the unmarried; there were no significant difference among the others, but all the values showed that the leadership style among military police cadres were prone to constitutional style. Nevertheless, the study also found that the cadres would present considerate behaviors in constitutional style of leadership, and such merged leadership mode wouldn’t make subordinates repellent. II.As to the relationship with job satisfaction, both education and stratum showed significant difference. No matter what education degree the cadres and ranks acquired, they were all quite satisfied with the recognition of leadership style, and the inner and external job satisfaction were quite high. The study also found that higher educated ranks showed lower job satisfaction than that of the lower educated; and high-ranking officers showed higher job satisfaction than the lower cadres and ranks. III.The leadership style had significant relationship with job satisfaction, and had an influence on it. In the end, the study would provide concrete suggestions for the administration of military police, infrastructural cadres and future researchers to take a reference.
