mission and vision to be achieved.

The Leadership Orientation (LO) questionnaire is used to look at the multidimensional leadership practices of the leaders of the opposition and commitment. The findings show that middle leaders' multidimensional leadership practices are at a high level. According to the teacher's perception, the highest dimension of leadership is that human resource leadership is followed by cultural, political, and structural leadership. Overall, the findings show that the multidimensional leadership practices of middle leaders (r = 0.595, p < 0.01) have a significant relationship with the commitment to the organization in primary school TS25 Seremban district.
