The survey was conducted using quantitative methods to examine the instructional leadership of principals and the teachers’ commitment in three MJSCs in Pahang. Simple random sampling was used to hundred and thirteen (113) teachers using a questionnaire for ‘Principal Management Instruction Rating Scale’ (PIMRS) and Organizational Commitment Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics based on the mean, mode, median, standard deviation, T-test, One-way ANOVA and correlation Spearson were used to examine the relationship of instructional leadership in three dimensions that focus on the goals of the school, managing the instructional program and develop a positive school learning climate with the level of teachers’ commitment. The results show that the relationship between instructional leadership and the level of teachers’ commitment is high. There is a significant relationship between instructional leadership and the level of teachers’ commitment in three MJSCs in Pahang. In terms of the implications of the study, the principal should use his own intelligence in instructional leadership skills to develop teachers’ commitment.
