Purpose
This study examines how employee participation in the performance measurement system affects the relationship between authentic leadership and job satisfaction.

The findings imply that employees' participation in developing performance measures, which is promoted by authentic leadership, can be a strategy for enhancing job satisfaction. Therefore, in order to increase employees' job satisfaction, organizations need to promote employee participation in the performance measurement system and develop authenticity in leaders.
