Abstract

: Organizational commitment is the sense and trust of the organization that it
belongs to. A person who is committed to his or her organization will always be confident
and pleased in the organization and willing to do whatever is considered good to the
organization. The purpose of this study was to analyze the influence of leadership style as
well as work motivation with organizational commitment among trainers in Center of
Excellence, Malaysian Armed Force (MAF). The results show that there is a positive and
significant relationship between transformational leadership style and work motivation
towards organizational commitment. The findings also show that transformational leadership
and work motivation influenced the organizational commitment among the trainers.
Therefore, this study is greatly useful to the Ministry of Defense Malaysia to ensure that the
trainers at the MAF Center of Excellence achieve high job satisfaction in order to continue
committing to the organization to produce good and excellent services
