    Abstract: Leadership engenders an essential element for
organisations to develop business strategies and achieve
their goals. This research aims to examine the impact of
laissez-faire leadership style on Organisational
Commitment (OCOM) in health care centers in Qatar.
The researcher adopted a quantitative approach using a
self-administered questionnaire to collect the primary
data. The sample consisted of 218 leaders and supervisors
from five healthcare centers in Qatar selected employing
non-random sampling. The study indicated a significant
positive relationship existed between laissez-faire
leadership and OCOM. Moreover, leadership behavior
significantly impacted OCOM behaviors but in different
degrees: continuance commitment and normative
commitment to a higher extent and affective commitment
less so. Also, the results showed the percentage to which
Laissez-Faire leadership style was practiced in the sample
to be high.
