Abstract: This study aimed at investigating the effect of head teachers’ leadership styles on the commitment of teachers among secondary schools in Uganda. The study employed correlational research design and data was collected on a sample of 212 using a questionnaire and an interview guide. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression. The findings revealed that democratic, autocratic and laissez-faire had a positive and significant influence on commitment of teachers. Therefore, it was concluded that the democratic leadership style is imperative for commitment of teachers, and autocratic leadership style is a pre-requisite for commitment of teachers but laissez-faire is not a substantially leadership style for commitment of teachers. Thus, it was recommended that head teachers should make effort to employ the democratic leadership style to promote for commitment of teachers, head teachers should also use autocratic leadership style to promote commitment of teachers, and head teachers should give limited emphasis to use of laissez-faire leadership style to promote commitment of teachers. Key words: Head teachers, Leadership styles, commitment, Teachers, secondary schools
