The main purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between school principals' leadership styles and organisational happiness. İn this study, the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The teachers participating in the research were selected by a cluster sampling method. In order to collect the data of the research, the ‘Personal Information Form’ was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the teachers; the ‘Leadership Styles Scale’, developed by Akçekoce and Bilgin, was used to determine the leadership style exhibited by school principals; and the ‘Organisational Happiness Scale’, adapted into Turkish by Arslan and Polat, was used to determine the organisational happiness levels of teachers. The obtained data were processed in a statistical programme to be analysed. As a result of the analyses, while the teachers have the perception that school principals exhibit the ethical leadership style the most, they think that school principals exhibit cultural leadership style the least. It is seen that teachers' organisational happiness perceptions are also at a high level. It is seen that there is a positive and strong relationship between the leadership styles of school principals and their perceptions of organisational happiness. In addition, in the study, it was concluded that the leadership styles of school principals were a significant predictor of organisational happiness and explained 41.3% of organisational happiness. Keywords: Educational organisations, leadership, leadership styles of school principals, happiness, organisational happiness.
In this study, it was aimed to reveal the descriptive characteristics, methodical dimensions and general trends of the research articles on Effective School in Turkey published between 2000-2020. These studies have been systematically evaluated through content analysis. For this purpose, 23 articles scanned with the keyword ‘effective school’ and ‘school effectiveness’ were examined in the Journal Park and Google academic databases published between 2000 and 2020. The article classification form developed by Sözbilir, Kutu and Yaşar (2012) was adapted and used for effective school research to examine the articles. The data obtained from the studies examined by content analysis were analyzed using percentage and frequency values. In these studies, it was observed that (I) the concept of an effective school is most often associated with the leadership styles of school administrators, (II) quantitative research method was often used, (III) survey was preferred as data collection tool, (IV)random sampling method was widely used and (V)teachers were chosen most as sample.
