Enhancing teachers job satisfaction and organizational commitment is essential for cultivating a motivated and dedicated workforce, which directly impacts educational quality and student achievement. This study examined the role of transformational leadership style and job satisfaction in influencing the organizational commitment of teachers.

Self-administered questionnaires were used to measure teachers job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and perceptions of their school heads transformational leadership behaviors. The findings revealed that both job satisfaction and transformational leadership style positively correlate with teachers organizational commitment. Among the two, job satisfaction showed a stronger relationship, suggesting that teachers who are more satisfied with their jobs tend to be more committed to their organizations. These results emphasize the importance of fostering a positive work environment and supportive leadership practices. School administrators are encouraged to implement strategies that enhance job satisfaction and promote effective leadership to strengthen teachers organizational commitment.
