Abstract One importance of examining the relationship between leadership styles and employee’s organizational commitment is that it assists in assessing employees affective and normative commitment of the organisation, enhance boosting employees’ performance and growth of the organisation. This research used quantitative methodology and instrument was tested for validity. There was a pre-test of Cronbach Alpha values expected to be values ranging from 0.76 to 0.96 to indicate a strong construct validity instrument. The study used Pearson correlation matrix to determine the relationship between the three independent variables and one dependent variable. The results show an R-squared value of 0.7534 for employees’ continuance commitment (CC). This means that jointly, transformational (TFL), transactional (TSL) and laissez-faire (LFL) leadership styles account for over 75% of the variations in employees’ continuance (CC) towards their organization. Similarly, the findings show that jointly, the independent variables (TFL, TSL, LFL) account for approximately 50% (R2 = 0.4964) and 57% (0.5677) of the variations in employees’ affective (AC) and normative (NC) commitments respectively. Besides, the joint effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables were statistically significant at 5% level (p=0.000). This finding means that, largely, the leadership style of the organization has a direct impact on the level of employees’ commitment to the organization.
