The number of research samples were 106 teachers which were taken by using proportional random sampling techniques. The method used was the correlational method. Hypothesis testing was carried out using parametric statistical analysis in the form of simple and multiple linear regression analysis, simple and multiple correlation analysis and partial analysis where the  significance levels α = 0.01 and α = 0.05. This study came up with three conclusions. Firstly, there was a moderate positive and significant relationship between the variables of empowerment and organizational commitment with a correlation coefficient r_y1 = 0.63, a coefficient of determination R_y1² = 0.4026. Secondly, there was a high positive and significant relationship between the variable of self-efficacy and organizational commitment with a correlation coefficient r_y2 = 0.81, and the coefficient of determination R_y2² = 0.6580.
