THE EFFECTS OF SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS' ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS ON TEACHERS' JOB SATISFACTION

Summary. In this research, the effect of school administrators' ethical leadership behaviors on teachers' job satisfaction was examined. The research was carried out with quantitative methods. Findings were collected through survey forms. The sample consists of 799 teachers. Data analyzes were carried out using multiple linear regression test on SPSS program. The study found that the ethical leadership behaviors of school administrators explained a significant part of teachers' job satisfaction. However, it was determined that only the climatic leadership sub-dimension of ethical leadership had a positive and significant effect on teachers' job satisfaction. It was concluded that when the climate leadership behaviors of school administrators increase, teachers' job satisfaction will also increase.
