Abstract

Purpose of this study is to investigate the effect school principals’ transformational leadership behaviors on teachers’ organizational commitment using meta-analysis. In the literature review, 19 studies were found and 11 of them were included in this meta-analysis, which represent overall Turkey. With this study, 11 studies, independent from each other, were brought together and 4.293 study subjects were included in the sample group. The results of the analysis, which were conducted using random effects model, showed that transformational leadership is strongly correlated with organizational commitment. The study indicating that the educational level and sampling region have a moderator role on organizational commitment is not supported.
