Data collected was analysed using pearsons correlation and regression analysis. Results: Responses were received from 621 respondents including 243 nurses, 207 doctors, 72 non-medicos and 99 paramedics. Overall demand reconciliation behaviour was found to have highest and significant correlation with job satisfaction. Conclusion: Results show that leader behaviour practices must be accustomed to professional groups of employees.
