The aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between the leadership styles of principals and organizational citizenship behaviors of teachers according to teachers' perceptions. In this research, a relational survey model was used. Data for the research were obtained from 1,723 teachers working in public and private schools which were subject to Ministry of National Education in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul province in 2014. In this research, data were collected through "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher, and "Effects of Leadership Styles of Principals on Organizational Citizenship" inventory consisting of "Leadership Styles Scale" and "Organizational Citizenship Scale". The inputs of data obtained from respondents were entered via SPSS 17.0; data of the research were analyzed by "average", "standard deviation", "Pearson correlation coefficient moments" and "regression analysis". According to the analysis results obtained in the research, teachers' average perceptions regarding the transformational and transactional leadership characteristics of principals and the average of acting in organizational citizenship behavior were high. There was a positive highly significant relationship between the transformational and transactional leadership characteristics of principals and the organizational citizenship. Transformational leadership positively affects the level of organizational citizenship more than transactional leadership.

Karadag, Engin; Bektas, Fatih; Çogaltay, Nazim; Yalçin, Mikail

Asia Pacific Education Review, v16 n1 p79-93 Mar 2015

In this meta-analysis study, different leadership styles were combined, and the relationship between educational leadership and student achievement was analyzed. In the literature review, 57 research articles/dissertations, independent from one another, were brought together, and 28,964 study subjects were included in the sample group. The results of the analyses performed with a random effects model revealed that educational leadership has a medium effect on students' achievement. As was expected, the most comprehensive effect among leadership styles was found in distributive and transformational leadership. Considering the effect of educational leadership on students' achievement, it is recommended to examine the effect of leadership on other components of school and shareholders in future studies.
