Abstract:

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between leadership styles of elementary school principles and harassment and the organizational silence behaviors that primary school teachers experience. The population of the study consisted of 1301 teachers working in primary schools in 5 Central education districts of Aksaray. The sample set consisted of 395 teachers. The findings showed that as long as primary school principles have more transformational and transactional leadership behaviors, teachers' mobbing experiences and organizational silence behaviors decrease. Results also showed that transactional leadership is a stronger predictor than transformational leadership on harassment and organizational silence.
