The purpose of this study was to examine the Impact of Leadership Style on Employees Perceived Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment, Case of Cooperative Bank of Oromia. Total of 339 respondents at head office branches in Addis Ababa filled out the questionnaires that were distributed. To examine the replies, both descriptive and inferential analysis were performed. Additionally, the study made use of qualitative data gathered through purposive sample interviews with particular head office staff members. According to the results of the descriptive statistics, the employees had low levels of WLB and OC with little inter-employee variability. WLB and OC are found to be positively and strongly connected with all observable leadership styles, including transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire leadership styles. Regression analysis results showed that WLB and OC are significantly and favourably predicted by leadership style. In order to improve workers' WLB and organizational commitment, these studies advise the bank to focus on succession planning and work on leadership improvement programs.
