Funnel plot, trim and fill test and the statistics of Begg and Mazumdar rank correlations were used to determine the publication bias. It was determined that transformational leadership behaviors in health institutions have a strong positive effect on staff job satisfaction (ES = 0.54, G.A; 0.47-0.61; p> 0.05) and are statistically significant. It was determined that the variables of publication type, year of publication, and the country in which the studies were included in the study did not play a moderator role and there was no publication bias.

Meta analizinde ilk olarak heterojenlik testi yapılmış ve heterojenlik testi sonucuna göre rastgele etkiler modeli tercih edilmiştir. Araştırmada moderatör analiz, duyarlılık analizi ve yayın yanlılığı analizi yapılmıştır. Yayın yanlılığının belirlenmesi için huni grafiği, trim ve fill testi ile Begg ve Mazumdar sıra korelasyonları istatistiğinden yararlanılmıştır. Sağlık kuruluşlarında transformasyonel liderlik davranışlarının personel iş doyumu üzerinde (ES=0,54, G.A; 0,47-0,61; p >0.05) pozitif yönlü güçlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu ve istatiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
