Data for this study was gathered from a sample of 169 rater's. Questionnaire was distributed to all the operators in the Module department and total 120 questionnaires were returned.

Employee commitment was measured using Bagraim's (2004) Organizational Commitment, adaptation of Meyer and Allen's (1997) Three-Component Model of employee commitment. Leadership was identified as the independent variable and organizational commitment as the dependent
variable. Data was obtained from questionnaires which were distributed to module production direct employee. Overall findings from this study suggest

help researchers' efforts to understand the relationship between leadership style and organizational commitment. As this research takes place in Kulim Kedah context, it contributes to the bank of findings relating to the development of organizational commitment. |
