The main objective of this paper is to describe organisational commitment displayed among hotel employees with regard to the different ways its level can be boosted. This work specifies a critical secret weapon that organisations should be cognisant of to ensure their employees’ commitment towards their job is retained and loyalty to the entity is secured. In particular, the connection perceived between organisational commitment, leadership style, and the social exchange theory plays a vital and significant role. The methodology implemented includes identifying resources for locating pertinent articles, whereby literature reviews are sought as the secondary data. Here, the correct keywords are identified and thus incorporated during the search process, while the eligibility of information is ascertained accordingly. In this study, the supporting materials deemed necessary and of relevance are obtained by using electronic databases available at the library databases of Universiti Teknologi MARA, which include Scopus, SAGE, Academia, and ResearchGate. The concluding comments detail the authors’ aspiration and beneficial elements attainable due to this work to its readers.
