The objectives of this study are to provide domestic convention companies with meaningful practical implications by investigating not only the effect relationship between leadership and organizational commitment of staff members but also the mediating effects of Leader-Member Exchange(LMX) between it. To achieve the objectives, as a conceptual framework of the study, the literatures on leadership, organizational commitment, leader-member exchange(LMX), and the effect relationships among the three factors were reviewed, and the empirical studies on the perception of employees of domestic convention companies were conducted. The findings of the study showed that firstly, leadership had a significant impacts on organizational commitment of staff members and LMX, and secondly, the two factors, willingness to contribute to the leader and loyalty to the leader, of LMX had mediating effects between the leadership and organizational commitment, but the other two factors, respect for the leader and the attachment to the leader, did not have mediating effect between them. Through the results of the study, it has been revealed that positive factors of leadership have significant impacts on the staff members' commitment into their organizations.
