This research aims to examine the mediation effect of emotional intelligence on the relationship of transformational leadership style on teacher’s organizational commitment. About 150 respondents among daily secondary school teachers in Terengganu need to answer the questionnaire that has been distributed. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) were chosen as a method in analyzing, interpret and test the development of the hypotheses. The findings reveal that there’s a direct and indirect effect of transformational leadership style on teacher’s organizational commitment. Emotional intelligence clearly proved as a mediator in this research. Importantly, results of this study have extended the literature of transformational leadership style, emotional intelligence and teacher’s organizational commitment in educational settings.
