This research is a descriptive research aiming to reveal the opinions of teachers about the relationship between the school administrators' humor behavior and organizational opposition. The sample of the research was made of 374 teachers working in Nizip District of Gaziantep Province during 2018-2019 academic year. In the research, “Humor Behaviors Scale” and “Organizational Opposition Scale”, which are both five Likert type scales, were used as data collection tools. Teachers’ opinions regarding school administrators’ humor behaviors and organizational opposition were examined according to school type, gender, age, marital status, education level, service period, working time with principal, number of administrators and teachers in school and the number of managers differ significantly in their variables. In organizational opposition scale scores, it is for meaningful differences in terms of school type, duration of service, school principal working time, number of school administrators and teachers. According to the perceptions of teachers, a low correlation was found between school administrators' humor behavior and organizational opposition. This situation can be seen as an indication that teachers' open communication channels in schools can easily express their opposing thoughts to school management. Moreover, as the number of administrators and the education level of schools increase, it is observed that organizational opposition behaviors decrease.
