to conduct a systematic review of studies on the relationship between school
principals’ leadership behaviours and teachers’ organisational commitment. For
this purpose, 23 research articles indexed in WOS, ERIC, EBSCO, SCOPUS and
ULAKBİM databases between 2000-2017 in the Turkish context and selected through
certain criteria were collected for analysis. According to the results of the
studies examined, as school principals performed a higher level of leadership
behaviours, teachers’ level of commitment to their schools increased. The
leadership behaviours that were prominent in these studies were having a common
objective and vision in school, forming a culture of cooperation, enhancing
communication and interaction, showing interest and appreciation of
individuals, supportive and constructive behaviours, being fair, creating a
working culture based on respect and trust, sharing responsibilities, and
managing and maintaining change in school. Moreover, in the studies, school
principals’ organisational commitment was reported to be positively related to
transformational leadership, servant leadership and ethical leadership
behaviours. These leadership behaviours were also found to be important
predictors of organisational commitment.  </span>}, number={1}, publisher={Bartin University}
