The purpose of this study was to explore relationships between principals’ transformational leadership, transactional leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction in elementary school. There were five main purposes in this research : (1) to investigate current situation of principal transformational leadership, transactional leadership and teacher job satisfaction in elementary school. (2) to analyze how teachers from various background perceive the principal transformational leadership, how does the transactional leadership and teacher job satisfaction. (3) to analyze the relationship between principals’ transformational leadership and teachers’ job satisfaction. (4) to probe into the predicting function which principal transformational and transactional leadership have on various aspects of teachers’ job satisfaction. (5) to conclude the research results and to propose some suggestions for the educational practices elementary school principal and further studies as well.
The study employed cluster sampling and had eight hundred ninty-eight samples.
Data were analyzed using the method of descriptive and inferential statistics, included one-way MANOVA, Canonical Correlation Analysis and Stepwise Multiple Regression. Important findings of the study were as followed :
(a). At present, there is above average perception for principals’ transformational leadership among the elementary ; transactional leadership is rated as average.
(b). Job satisfaction among elementary school teachers is as average.
(c). Prinsipals’ transformational and transational leadership behavior differed obviously because of their background.
