This research aims to examine the effects of managerial communication on organizational performance through the mediating role of employee job satisfaction in Ethiopian educational institutions, particularly in rural areas like West Guji. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study integrates both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather comprehensive data from 281 participants, including teaching staff and educational leaders. Findings reveal that managerial communication significantly influences employee job satisfaction, which in turn affects organizational performance. Quantitative data indicated a moderate level of satisfaction with communication practices, while qualitative insights highlighted issues such as one-directional communication and lack of employee involvement. The study concludes that effective communication is vital for enhancing employee satisfaction and organizational outcomes. The implications of this research suggest that educational institutions should prioritize developing comprehensive communication strategies that promote transparency and inclusivity, ultimately fostering a more engaged and productive workforce.
