Özet:

The aim of this study is to enhance the transformative leadership characteristics of school managers from the perspective of teachers working in primary schools. In the 2021-2022 educational year, 6500 teachers from a total of 337 schools in the districts of Diyarbakır and Kayapınar were the source of the universe of research. The sample of the research is made up of 360 teachers who work in primary education institutions in the central districts of Bağlar and Kayapınar, located through random sample from the universe. The research data was collected by the "Transforming Leadership Scale" tool developed by Bassve Avolio (1997) through the "Personal Information Form" developed by the researcher and adapted to the Turkish as a result of the work of Cemaloğlu (2007) and Yetim (2009). The study data calculated the "Standard deviation" (Ss), "Arithmetic average" (X), "Frequency" (f) and "Procent (%) ratio". On the other hand, in this scientific study, the "T-Test" and "ANOVA Test" were used. As a result of the analyses made, the teacher’s perceptions showed that school managers were sufficient in all sub-dimensions of transformative leadership. It was also found that teachers did not show significant differences according to their gender, but that they did not show manic differences according to their age and educational status.
