This study investigates the influence of leadership and career advancement opportunities on organizational commitment among officials of the Excise Department. The study aims to identify key determinants and elucidate the mechanisms linking leadership, career progression systems, and organizational commitment within the public sector context. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected from 359 civil servants in the Excise Department using a structured questionnaire and convenience sampling. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The findings indicate that leadership and career advancement opportunities significantly influence organizational commitment, together explaining 63.6% of the variance (R² = 0.636). A dimension-specific analysis revealed that perceived fairness in compensation and recognition, opportunities for professional development, and clearly defined career progression pathways are the key factors contributing to stronger organizational commitment. The findings suggest that organizational commitment in the public sector extends beyond structural employment conditions and instead emerges from the integration of strategic leadership practices and effective human resource development systems. Accordingly, leadership development and the design of clearly defined career advancement pathways should be prioritized as key policy considerations to enhance sustainable organizational commitment and improve the long-term effectiveness of public sector organizations.
