The survey method was used in this study, along with path analysis for testing hypotheses. This was done with 89 random selection principals as respondents. This study revealed that personality has a direct positive influence on organizational commitment. There is a positive direct decision-making influence on organizational commitment. Hence, there is also an indirect influence on organizational commitment through decision-making.
