Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the impact of transformational leadership and organizational culture on teacher job satisfaction, with organizational commitment as a mediating factor. The research employs a quantitative survey method, involving 126 teachers from three public high schools on Bacan Island, South Halmahera Regency, Indonesia, namely SMAN 1, SMAN 7, and SMAN 8. The findings reveal that both transformational leadership and organizational culture have a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. Additionally, organizational commitment mediates the relationship between transformational leadership, organizational culture, and job satisfaction. Among the factors studied, organizational commitment has the strongest influence on teacher job satisfaction. These results highlight the critical role of organizational commitment in improving job satisfaction among teachers in public high schools. The practical implications of these findings are discussed.
