Three different tools were used to collect the data. The first tool was the leadership profile questionnaire. This part is geared to measure leadership style. The second tool was absenteeism questionnaire format; this tool aims at determining causes of absenteeism and absenteeism record of staff nurses for a year to estimate the absenteeism rate. The third tool was the organizational commitment scale used to measure organizational commitment. The results of the study revealed that the majority of head nurses were adopting the mixed style of leadership, financial and workplace factors were the main causes leading to absenteeism. Planned and unexcused absenteeism were the highest range of absenteeism. The majority of the studied nurses did not show commitment. There was a negative relationship between absenteeism and commitment. Moreover, it was found out that there is no significant correlation between leadership style of nurse mangers and staff nurses’ absenteeism rate and commitment. This study recommends improving workplace factors to reduce absenteeism rate by promoting communication between nursing and hospital management to provide a suitable environment for the work.
