Abstract
The objective of this research was measuring organizational commitment as well as developing a commitment management model and their relation with leadership styles to determine growth and motivation strategies in faculty and staff in a public university in the City of Chihuahua. A multidimensional (affective, continuance, and normative) model of organizational commitment and the short version of the MLQ (Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire) for leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) were used. A non-experimental study with a descriptive and correlational scope was carried out, applying an instrument comprising 21 items to measure organizational commitment and 25 items to measure leadership style. Non probabilistic convenience sampling was conducted with 698 employees (60.1% faculty and 39.9% administrative staff). Data were analyzed with the SPSS statistics system, applying descriptive statistics, and Spearman's Rho nonparametric correlation tool. Results showed a strong degree of organizational commitment in the affective and normative dimensions, in a limit inferior; in addition to this, it was determined that the transformational and transactional leadership styles have a strong level. Furthermore, it is claimed that there is a close positive relation between organizational commitment and leadership styles. It is proposed to establish strategies to improve organizational commitment and leadership in higher education institutions. It is suggested to develop future research on organizational commitment and leadership in public and private universities for other regions in the country.
