developed in this context: Hypothesis 1: There is a direct and significant relationship between teachers’ CL and

school principals’ SJL Hypothesis 2: There is a direct and significant relationship between teachers’ CL

and teachers’ WB Hypothesis 3: There is a direct and significant relationship between school principals’ SJL and
