I'm not sure if I've seen anything on leader personality on employee satisfaction. As far as examining personality and satisfaction on the construct level I'd refer you to Judge et al (2002) and Ilies & Judge (2003). 

Judge and Long (2012) also wrote a review on the role of personality and individual differences in leadership, which may help you with hypothesis development.

I believe one of the most-referred article in the field of personality characteristics and job satisfaction is:

- TA Judge, D Heller, MK Mount (2002) Five-factor model of personality and job satisfaction: a meta-analysis, Journal of Applied Psychology, 87(3), 530-541. http://dx.doi.org/10.1037/0021-9010.87.3.530

For managerial level, personality traits elements could be: i) Credibility, ii) Competence, iii) Compassion. Whereas,employees job satisfaction elements could be: a) Service Orientation, b) Managing productive behavior, c) Information Sharing, d) Work culture, e) Compensation,  f) Personal Growth & Development  g) Organizational Integration, h) Ethics,  i) Future Orientation, j) Corporate Image. The impact could be established through analysis of all the above elements.
