Abstract

This study examines the relationship between transformational leadership style and organizational commitment of Germi's secondary school teachers in academic year 2011- 2012. Four-hundred secondary school teachers consisted the statistical population of the study. The determined sample size by the Cochran formula was 196. The sample was selected through simple random sampling. The data obtained through Bass and Avolio's multifactor leadership questionnaire (1996) and Porter's organizational commitment questionnaire (1974). The results showed that there was a significant positive correlation between transformational leadership and organizational commitment of teachers. In addition, stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that among the components of transformational leadership, the idealized influence had the greatest impact on organizational commitment of teachers.
