Total number of samples in this study is 10693; 5490 of which are female teachers whereas 5203 of which are male teachers. In addition, several variables such as publication type, publication year, the region where the research has been made, scale type, educational level, and researcher’s sex that could not be included in the evaluation as a moderator in primary researches were analyzed. In accordance with the results of this study, an effect size with statistical significance at an insignificant level was determined on the part of female teachers according to fixed effect model (d= 0,086) and random effect model (d=0,041). In the consequence of the moderator analysis conducted, the region in which the research was conducted (p=0,029), educational level (p=0,005), the researcher’s sex (p=0,000), scale type (p=0,000), and publication type (p=0,000) were determined to be moderators. Moreover, effect sizes obtained from the studies showed that gender difference has a tendency to decrease by year. As a result, gender may not be recommended to be used as a significant variable in those future studies dealing with teachers’ opinions about transformational leadership.}, number={30}, publisher={Sakarya Üniversitesi}
