Bu araştırma, okul yöneticilerinin koçluk davranışları ile okulların akademik iyimserlikleri arasındaki ilişki durumunu ortaya koymak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırma ilişkisel tarama modeliyle desenlemiştir. Araştırmanın evrenini Manisa ilinin Salihli ilçesinde kamu okullarında görev yapan 2487 öğretmen, örneklemini ise kolay ulaşılabilir örnekleme yoluyla ulaşılan 497 ilkokul, ortaokul ve lise öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar şu şekildedir. Öğretmenlerin okul müdürlerinin koçluk davranışlarına yönelik algı düzeyleri yüksektir. Okul müdürlerinin koçluk davranışlarını göstermelerine yönelik öğretmen algılarının, cinsiyet ve okulda ki öğretmen sayısı değişkenlerine göre farklılaştığı, diğer değişkenlerine göre ise farklılaşmadığı görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin akademik iyimserliklerinin yüksek düzeyde olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Öğretmenlerin akademik iyimserliklerinin görev yapılan okul düzeyi ve mezuniyet durumu değişkenlerine göre anlamlı olarak farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin okul müdürlerinin koçluk davranışı göstermelerine yönelik algıları ile akademik iyimserlik düzeyleri arasında anlamlı, pozitif yönlü ve orta düzeyde bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Yine okul müdürlerinin koçluk davranışlarından durum saptama davranışı boyutuna yönelik öğretmen algıları akademik iyimserlik düzeylerini yükseltmektedir.
