In an effort to gain deeper insights into the level of commitment among teachers within an organization, this study focused on the role of job satisfaction as a mediating factor in the relationship between teachers' organizational commitment and different leadership styles: transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant. The research involved 160 school teachers and twenty principals in schools under Thimphu Thromde, and a comprehensive analysis was conducted, which revealed partial mediation in the context of the negative correlation between the passive-avoidant leadership style and teachers' commitment to their organization. The findings of the study highlighted a significant connection between transformational leadership and organizational commitment, with job satisfaction acting as a mediator. Essentially, teachers who reported higher job satisfaction were more likely to demonstrate stronger commitment to their school, primarily due to the presence of transformational leadership.
