In this research the mediating effect of leader-member exchange in the relationship between social capital and teachers' identification in schools was examined. The study group of the research consists of 233 teachers working in public schools. The data were obtained with Social Capital Scale, Leader-Member Exchange Scale and Organizational Identification Scale. Description statistics and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used in the analysis of the data. In the research it was determined that teachers' perceptions about social capital and leader-member exchange levels are relatively moderate. It was also determined that teachers are highly identified with their schools. As a result of the correlation analysis, there are positive, moderate and highly level and significant relationships among the variables. Path analysis has shown that the leader-member exchange has a mediating effect in the relationship between social capital and teacher identification.
