Purpose: This study investigated the impact of leadership styles of first-aid instructors on student engagement and satisfaction in lectures. Methods: The study consisted of 152 disability support workers who received first-aid training at a welfare center for the disabled in J City. The measured variables were leadership style, lecture engagement, and lecture satisfaction. Pearson's correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between variables, and multiple regression analysis was performed to verify the effects of leadership styles of first-aid instructors on student engagement and satisfaction in lectures. The data collected for this study were analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 26.0. Results: Task-oriented leadership (t=3.067, p<.01) and relational leadership (t=3.791, p<.001) had statistically significant effects on lecture engagement (F=9.551, p<.001). Relational leadership (t=2.943, p<.01) had a statistically significant positive effect on lecture satisfaction (F=3.058, p<.05). Conclusion: Both task-oriented and relational leadership were found to have a positive impact on lecture engagement, with relational leadership having a stronger positive effect on lecture satisfaction. These findings suggest that effective instructors should value both the task and relational aspects in their leadership approaches.
