This research was conducted to investigate the importance of transformational leadership on job satisfaction by focusing on two countries which are UAE and Jordan. The study has also incorporated organizational commitment as a moderating variable to determine its importance in respect to the connection of transformational leadership and job satisfaction. The primary data source used in this study is the questionnaire survey which includes the questions asked from the respondents for the different variables of the study. The questionnaire has been responded by 314 participants from Jordan and UAE. The data analysis technique involved in this study is statistical data analysis technique which is conducted through the use of SmartPLS. The structural equation modelling has been used in this data analysis along with confirmatory factor analysis. The study has revealed that there is no significant comparative difference among the two countries based on the results. Furthermore, the transformational leadership was determined to have significant and positive effect on job satisfaction whereas organizational commitment was identified to have insignificant moderating effect. This study is particularly emphasized in the context of UAE and Jordan which leads to limiting the results from the aspect of two countries. Hence, future researches can be conducted by emphasizing on focusing on different countries.
