description Empirical studies into leadership and organizational commitment have widely been conducted in private organizations, but a handful of the same research has been undertaken in non-profit organizations.

The independent variable comprises of leadership and organizational commitment, and job performance as dependent variables. Valid and reliable items were used for the variable measurement. Hierarchical regression analysis results showed three major findings for this research: first, transformational leadership directly and positively influences various dimensions of organizational commitment and job performance. In addition, transactional leadership produces a significant influence merely on normative commitment. Second, continuance commitment and normative commitment directly and positively influence job performance. Third, continuance and normative commitment have mediating effects in the relationship between leadership and job performance.
