Research in the field of Organisational Behaviour (OB) is constantly looking for ways to improve effectiveness and performance. A particularly interesting and popular concept leading to higher levels of performance is workers’ organisational commitment (OC). Managers are eager to stimulate OC, yet the question of how remains. This literature review investigates to what extent applied leadership styles affect workers’ commitment. Nine possible relations between different leadership styles and OC-dimensions are discussed based on literature findings. An analysis and synthesis of available research reveals strong positive relations between transformational leadership and the affective and normative aspects of commitment. Furthermore, transactional leadership seems to positively influence all aspects of OC. Laissez-faire leadership on the other hand is shown to weaken affective and normative commitment. Yet, all effects are dependent on contexts. This review contributes to the literature in the field of OB by bringing together existing knowledge on the subjects and its implications could serve as a road sign for managers looking to improve workers’ commitment. This thesis concludes with recommendations for future research.

This review examines the following organizational outcomes: organizational citizenship behaviour/performance, organizational culture, and organizational vision.

The study has two objectives; to find out the impact of transformational leadership on organizational commitment in Mogadishu, Somalia, to investigate the impact of transactional leadership on organizational commitment in Mogadishu, Somalia. The study was explanatory. The purpose of explanatory study was to explain the relationship between the two variables. Questionnaire was used to collect data from sample of 95 respondents. The data was analyzed using SPSS version. 20. Leadership could support organizational commitment using transformation and transaction styles, the first dimension of independent variable which transformation style has positive relationship with organizational commitment, the second dimension of which transaction style has positive relationship with organizational commitment. In reference with the result and findings it is revealed that employee commitment has positive relationship with the two dimensions of independent variable.
