“…Nonetheless, given that the direct link between commitment and leadership behaviours was positive and insignificant, it can be inferred that job satisfaction partially mediated the link between organisational commitment and leadership behaviours. This contrasted with research by Hendri (2018), Silitonga et al (2020), andHalim et al (2021) that showed job satisfaction mediated the association between commitment and leadership behaviours. However, research by Banjarnahor et al (2018) supported the results by indicating that job satisfaction partially mediated the link between the two variables.…”

“…Job satisfaction has been identified as a mediator of organisational commitment because employees become more committed to their work if they feel satisfied (Halim et al, 2021). Studies ( Banjarnahor et al, 2018;Halim et al, 2021;Ishak & Romle, 2015;Mwesigwa et al, 2020;Nadia & Azzman, 2020;Nanjundeswaraswamy, 2023;Sušanj & Jakopec, 2012;Yousef, 2000) have examined the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the influence of leadership behaviours and organisational commitment of academic staff. However, conceptual and population gaps emerged.…”

The study examined the relationship between leadership behaviours and the organisational commitment of academic staff at Kyambogo University, mediated by job satisfaction. Specifically, the study tested the influence of leadership behaviours on organisational commitment and job satisfaction, the influence of job satisfaction on the organisational commitment of academic staff, and the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the influence of leadership behaviours on organisational commitment. Based on the three-component model by Allen and Meyer (1990), organisational commitment was studied in terms of affective, continuance, and normative commitment. The study adopted a correlational research design on a sample of 175 full-time academic staff of Kyambogo University. The study utilised a self-administered questionnaire to collect the data. Data analysis involved carrying out partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results indicated that leadership behaviours positively but insignificantly influenced job satisfaction, while job satisfaction positively and significantly influenced organisational commitment, and leadership behaviours positively and significantly influenced job satisfaction. The results also revealed that job satisfaction partially mediated the influence of leadership behaviours on organisational commitment. The study concluded that while leadership behaviours are not a prerequisite for increasing organisational commitment among academic staff members, they improve academic staff members' job satisfaction. Also, academic staff members' commitment is increased by their job satisfaction, and job satisfaction partially significantly affects the association between leadership behaviours and academic staff members' commitment. The study recommends that to improve organisational commitment, university leaders should not overfocus on leaders’ behaviours. Nevertheless, to improve job satisfaction, they should exhibit those leadership behaviours that enhance job satisfaction. Further, university leaders can improve academic staff satisfaction by implementing appropriate job satisfaction practices. Last but not least, in addition to good leadership practices, university leaders should implement appropriate job satisfaction practices to enhance academic staff members' commitment

“…The adversity quotient is an essential component of organizational commitment to achieving a career (Kurniawan et al, 2020). Organizational culture will always exist in organizations, especially in organizational commitment (Kumar, 2016), and job satisfaction has a positive effect on teachers' commitment (Halim et al, 2021;Kedir et al, 2021). This research finding can be a beneficial guideline for the Ministry of Education and Culture, district leadership, school leaders, high school principals, school supervisors, teachers, and practitioners.…”

“…The findings indicated that the three components of organizational commitment are influenced by both transformational and transactional leadership variables, although the size and direction of their effect varies. Despite the similarities between transactional and transformational leadership, prior research has indicated that transformational leaders' actions have a higher favorable influence on teachers' outcomes, including their job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior [3], [4].…”

<span lang="EN-US">In recent years, styles of transformational and transactional leadership have become an important area of research because of its significant impact on teachers’ outcomes such as commitment, job satisfaction, self-efficacy. However, the relationships between transformational and transactional leadership styles of school principals and teachers’ organizational commitment have been rarely investigated in the educational context in Vietnam. This study aimed to determine how transformational and transactional leadership styles influence the organizational commitment of Vietnamese high school teachers. The study employed two standardized surveys to collect data from 387 teachers at 24 public high schools in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. The results of correlation coefficient analyses indicated that teachers’ organizational commitment was positively influenced by transformational leadership and negatively influenced by transactional leadership. In addition, the results of multiple regression analyses showed that the organizational commitment of teachers was predicted by all components of both leadership styles of principals. The present study suggested that school leaders might combine both transformational and transactional leadership styles in their leadership practices to improve teachers’ organizational commitment.</span>
