Abstract: 
The main contribution of this paper is just to demonstrate that the existence of higher level of organizational commitment in family firms is due to transformational leadership and can be explained adopting an approach of cognitive organizational learning This paper also demonstrates the singularity of organizational commitment in family firms through the three dimensions of organizational commitment described in the literature: affective, continuance and, normative. Linking each of these three dimensions with the levels of identification, involvement and loyalty respectively, the existence of higher levels of identification, involvement and loyalty in family enterprises is tested.
