The aim of this research is to identify the impact of leadership styles (democratic, dictatorial and transformational styles) on organizational commitment at high schools in the Kingdom of Bahrain. Two hundred and fifty-six employees were surveyed through a simple random sample. The analysis is based on the outcomes of the questionnaire survey that was given out to a representative sample of the employees of the high schools in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
