The research was conducted using relational screening model. Sample of the research includes 365 primary school teachers and 346 secondary school teachers in Konya city centre. The data were collected by “Organizational Leadership Inventory” developed by Tanrıöğen (2000) and Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Scale adapted to educational organizations by Polat (2007). According to the findings, school principals show a high degree of instructional leadership behaviour and teachers show a high degree of organizational citizenship behaviour. The level of primary school principals’ showing instructional leadership and the level of primary school teachers’ showing organizational citizenship are higher than the ones working in the secondary schools. Instructional leadership behaviour by the school principals positively affect the organizational citizenship behaviour of the teachers. Among the instructional leadership dimensions, only the dimension of developing education and teacher affects organizational citizenship and the other dimensions have no effect. School principals who wish to improve the organizational behaviour of the teachers must be an expert and provide feedback that would ensure occupational development for quality education.
