Abstract: Links have been established between organizational identification and the way employees behave in the workplace. Amidst stiff competition and an urgent need to improve employee productivity it would benefit organizations to know what fosters organizational identification among employees. Consequently, this study purposed to investigate the influence of employee personality and strategic leadership on organizational identification among teachers. The study employed a cross-sectional survey design to collect data from a sample of 136 private high school teachers. The results of the study indicated that strategic leadership, extraversion and agreeableness were significantly correlated to organizational identification. Additionally, it was found that neuroticism was negatively correlated with organizational identification. The study may be particularly useful to educational leaders who desire to help their employees feel a sense of belonging with their organizations.
