Applications of this study: This study is beneficial to the Pahang State Education Department in providing guidelines on how to increase organizational commitment among teachers in indigenous schools. Besides that, this study also benefits the school management as it offers a guideline for them to improve performance appraisal. The findings can also help future researchers by providing better understanding of the connection between job satisfaction and organizational commitment.

Hence, this study is trying to fill this gap.
