It is said that the transformational leadership style can be an ideal solution to overcome high turn-over in various fields. Improving the quality of relationships be-tween staff and leadership in hospitals, the importance of team climate, is a necessity to increase the level of job satisfaction and organization-al commitment which is ultimately expected to improve the quality of health services and patient safety in hospitals. This research aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and team climate on organizational commitment with job satisfaction as a mediating variable in general practitioners. The research sample was general practitioners at Type C Hospital in Solo Raya. The method used for sampling is non-probability sampling method and quota sampling technique. The results of structural equation modeling analysis show that transformational leadership and team climate have a positive and significant direct and indirect influence mediated by job satisfaction on organizational commitment. The findings of this study are intended to serve as a basis for the application of transformational leadership in healthcare.
