Khalip Musa , 2012: Applied Dissertation , Nova Southeastern University , AbrahamS. Fischler School of Education. ERIC Descriptors: Transformational Leadership, Public Schools, Teacher Attitudes , Leadership Styles This applied dissertation was designed to examine the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles and their influence on teachers ' commitment from the perspectives of teachers in the selected public primary schools. This study sought to determine the extent to which transformational and transactional leadership styles were practiced by school leaders. In addition, the researcher examined the degree to which these leadership styles managed to influence levels ofteacher commitment. The researcher surveyed 285 teachers from four primary schools to study the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and commitment using the multifactor leadership questionnaire (Bass & Avolio, 2004) and the three-component model of employee commitment survey (Meyer & Allen, 1997). The study found that both leadership styles were practiced by the school leaders but at different degrees. The results were high on transformational and moderate on transactional. The study also found that the teachers ' commitment levels were high. The findings indicated that transformational leadership had a significant influence on teachers' commitment, whereas no significant influence on teachers' commitment was found as a result of transactional leadership . 2012 thesis https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=4769 https://ir.upsi.edu.my/detailsg.php?det=4769 text eng N/A openAccess Doctoral Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris Fakulti Pengurusan dan Ekonomi N/A
