Public universities in Jordan have not been performing well in the area of management, which is one of the primary responsibilities for establishing them. Facilities, like videoconferencing, interactive whiteboards, internet facility and automated library, are mostly nonexistent, and where they are available, they are inadequate and mostly outdated. This study investigates the impact of the relationship between leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and human capital and the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation on academic job performance of higher educations, especially in Jordan. Based on the Resource-Based View Theory, this study determines the significance of the relationship between human capital and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and the academic job performance of the public universities in Jordan. The study also determines the moderating role of entrepreneurial orientation in the relationship between human capital and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance of the public universities. Data were collected from academic staff in public universities. The study employed a multistage sampling procedure with the use of a survey questionnaire. Out of the 1,000 questionnaires distributed, 418 were returned, giving a 41.8% response rate. After the data cleaning process, only 398 responses were used for analysis through SPSS, Smart PLS version 3.0, to investigate the relationships between human capital and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance of the public universities. Results show significantly positive relationships between human capital and leadership style (transformational leadership style and transactional leadership style) and academic job performance. Furthermore, the results show that entrepreneurial orientation moderates the relationship between human capital and transactional leadership style while transformational leadership style is not moderated.
