Organizational commitment as one of the important organizational variables can be influenced by leadership styles and their behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of ethical leadership on different dimensions of organizational commitment. Thus, we first described ethical leadership and organizational commitment and their dimensions. Then, by reviewing the literature we proposed some hypothesis to investigate the effects of the dimensions of ethical leadership on organizational commitment. Next, we collected data from the target community. Then, by using exploratory factor analysis we examined dimensions of ethical leadership and organizational commitment that it was determined three dimensions for each variable. Dimensions of ethical leadership includes morality and fairness, role clarification and power sharing and dimensions of organizational commitment are affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Then by using confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS software we examined the hypothesis. The results show that role clarification is effective only on affective commitment. Morality and fairness are effective on affective and normative commitment. Power sharing has an impact on all three dimensions of organizational commitment
