Abstract

Problem Statement: The number of studies on the effect of educational leadership on several organizational outputs is increasing. The most popular topic to review within the framework of leadership is job satisfaction. In several studies, a positive correlation was found between leadership and job satisfaction. According to the two-factor theory of Herzberg (1966), the leadership approaches of leaders affect teachers' job satisfaction. This is due to the fact that the administrators are an important part of the work done at school; and they contribute to teachers' experiences in a positive or negative way.
