Theory and models are very important for a study or article to determine the independent variable and the dependent variable that are consistent with the issue being studied. The selection and use of the correct and appropriate theory and model is also an important point for any study or article to maintain the parallelism of the article focusing on the research issue. In relation to that, this analysis includes a discussion of the theories and models used in the articles analyzed based on the independent variable that is transformational leadership and the dependent variable taken from various aspects of issues that occur in the field of education such as teacher satisfaction, teacher commitment, teacher efficiency, teacher attitude and so on. The purpose of the analysis discussion is to detail the suitability or parallelism of theories and models based on independent variables and dependent variables found in the article. Two articles have been selected to analyze the appropriateness or parallelism of the use of theories and models in their writing. This analysis is also carried out to find out whether the theories and models in these articles can contribute or otherwise to overcome the identified issues. Overall, the model and theory used for the independent variable which is transformational leadership to deal with issues related to work commitment among primary school teachers and secondary school learning organizations.
