%X This systematic review aims to investigate the relationship between school principals¡¯ leadership behaviours and teachers¡¯ job satisfaction. With this purpose, studies that focused on this relationship in the literature were examined. Twenty-seven studies found in different databases (i.e. ERIC, WOS, SCOPUS and ULAKB£¿M) were included in the analysis. These studies mostly focused on the relationships between school principals¡¯ transformational and interaction leadership behaviours and teachers¡¯ job satisfaction. Additionally, job satisfaction was also studied in relation to servant leadership, ethical leadership, distributive leadership, individual- and task-oriented leadership and school leadership behaviours. Based on the findings of the studies examined, school principals¡¯ transformation leadership behaviours were found to have stronger relationships with teachers¡¯ job satisfaction compared to interactional leadership behaviours and were an important predictor of job satisfaction. Negative relationships were revealed between laissez-faire leadership and job satisfaction. On the other hand, school principals¡¯ servant leadership and ethical leadership behaviours were found to be important variables in ensuring job satisfaction. Lastly, school principals¡¯ administrative behaviours that encourage participation and are flexible, sharing leadership at school, and exhibiting individual-oriented and supportive leadership behaviours were revealed to enhance teachers¡¯ job satisfaction
