The Relationship Between Transformational Leadership and Meaningful Work to The Commitment of Teacher Organizations in The Regional Secondary School of Padang City, West Sumatra

This study aims to analyze the relationship between transformational leadership, meaningful work, and organizational commitment among teachers of Padang City Regional High School. Using simple regression analysis techniques and pathway analysis, this study found a significant positive relationship between transformational leadership and meaningful work to affective commitment, sustainable commitment, and normative commitment of teachers. However, meaningful work does not serve as a mediator in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational commitment. The results show that effective transformational leadership can increase teachers' organizational commitment, while meaningful work can also strengthen affective and normative commitment. Therefore, school leaders need to increase the implementation of transformational leadership and create meaningful jobs for teachers to increase their commitment to educational organizations.
