The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship bet:vveen leadership styles, fairness of performance appraisal and affective commitment among public sector employees working in Federal Governments Departments in Rumah Persekutuan Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Affective commitment is the employees' psychological attachment to the organization. Leadership styles is the behaviour and attitude of the leader which leads to certain predictability and regularity in dealing with the group members.
