Abstract
The current study aims to examine the relationship between leadership commitment and performance of the
public sector universities of the province of Punjab, Pakistan. The Public sector universities are referred as
Higher Education Organizations (HEOs) in this study. The study is quantitative and the data were
collected by means of survey from the respondents. The study includes public sector general category
universities of the Province (Punjab, Pakistan) which are located in the different areas of the province.
There are twelve general public sector universities in the Province among those seven were included in the
population which comprised of department heads, teaching faculty and students. The findings of the study
revealed that there is a moderate positive relationship between leadership commitment and performance of
HEOs. Three sub-factors of commitment have been included in the study in order to examine the role of
leadership commitment. The findings of the study show that the continuance commitment influences HEOs
performance. The highest correlation of continuance commitment has practical implications for HEOs
performance. The leaders who have spent several years of their lives to serve institutions are more
knowledgeable, skillful and experienced, therefore, they are in a better situation to manage the tasks. On
the basis of the findings, it can be concluded that merely leadership is not sufficient for improvement of
performance, but there is also a need of supportive and committed team in order to excel.
