A self-administered questionnaires have been deployed among navy personnel in getting their responses on leadership styles, promotions, workloads, workplace facilities, and organizational commitment. The implication of the study can be seen that naval personnel will give the commitment to the organization if the leader's leadership styles, workload, and facilities in the workplace are given and provided. The results show a significant relationship between leadership styles, workplace facilities, and workloads with organizational commitment; but promotion opportunities show insignificant with organizational commitment.
