Furthermore, high turnover rate for contracted employees, it affects school administration’s work. Previous studies have suggested that employee’s job satisfaction is an important indicator of employee turnover. So the aim of this study was to discuss the contracted employees’ job satisfaction and the administrators’ leadership style in public universities of technology. The research tool for this study referred to Blake and Mouton (1985) Leadership Styles Questionnaire and Weiss et al. (1977) Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. By using the method of survey research, the effective responses were 99 questionnaires which were chosen from 12 public universities of technology’s contracted employees who was employed during March to June in 2018. After using SPSS software (version 23) to analyzing the data, the conclusions are as follows: 1. Contracted employees had not yet satisfied on their job satisfaction that is responding to relevant research. Moreover, intrinsic job satisfaction is more significant higher than entrinsic job satisfaction that are primarily under the control of one’s employer or manager. 2. Contracted employees felt satisfied on “get along with co-workers” and “the chance to work alone on the job”, but they had not satisfied on “pay and the amount of work”, “the chance for advancement” and “the working conditions”. 3. Contracted employees felt about their administrator that “concern for people” is more significant higher than “concern for production”. 4. Contracted employees though about their administrator’s leadership style which are 43% for “team management”, 32% for “middle of the road management”, and 22% for “impoverished management”. 5. The “team management” has positive moderate correlation with the contracted employee job satisfaction. The “impoverished management” has negative moderate correlation with the contracted employee job satisfaction. 6. Contracted employees had satisfied on the “team management”, the second is the “middle of the road management” and the “authority-compliance management”, and besides they have not satisfied with the “impoverished management.” 7. There is no significant difference between contracted employees’ job satisfaction and those six items: “gender”, “age”, “education”, “length of service in school”, “identity”, and “location of school”. 8. There is no significant difference between contracted employees feel about their administrator’s leadership style and “location of school”.
