Transformation is a topical issue in the South African higher education institutions. The slow progress in attempts to transform the sector can be attributed to leadership styles and commitment. The study employed a quantitative research design and made use of a self-administered questionnaire to gather data. The Multifactor-Leadership and Organisational Commitment questionnaires were used for data collection. The researcher used stratified sampling by grouping employees from each institution into academic and non-academic strata. In this study, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression analysis were performed. The study indicated that transformational leadership and transactional leadership styles are significantly correlated with some of the organisational commitment constructs. The results further revealed that transformational leadership style explained the variance on organisational commitment better than transactional and laissez faire. Therefore, the study concludes that there is no one size fit all and recommended that each institution should diagnose its own situation for better pictorial view of what will work for that organisation. It is further recommended that leaders in higher education institutions should embrace more of transformational leadership as it has potential of transforming these institutions.1 online resource (xii, 92 leaves)enUniversity of VendaOrganisational commitmentLeadership stylesUCTDTransformational leadershipHigher education institutions378.1110968Leadership -- South AfricaEducation, Higher -- South AfricaEducation -- South AfricaEducational leadership -- South AfricaUniversities and colleges -- South AfricaEffects of leadership styles on organisational commitment in two selected higher education institutions in South AfricaDissertationNdlovu W.
