Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between leadership styles and teacher commitment in primary schools
within Bitooma Sub-County. Utilizing a sample size of 107 teachers and 8 headteachers, data was collected
through interviews and questionnaires. Results indicate a strong positive correlation between transformational
leadership and teacher commitment, while transactional leadership shows a moderate positive correlation.
Conversely, laissez-faire leadership demonstrates a negative correlation with teacher commitment. Regression
analysis confirms the significant impact of transformational leadership on teacher commitment, highlighting
the importance of leadership style in fostering teacher dedication and retention.
