The main purpose of the study was to explore the leadership styles exhibited by school administrators and their impact on the behaviors of teachers within the educational context. Leadership within the school setting is a critical factor influencing school culture, student outcomes, and overall educational quality.  The study adopted a qualitative research design, employing in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis to collect rich data from a diverse sample of school administrators and teachers. Data analysis involves thematic coding analysis, allowing for the emergence of themes and patterns regarding leadership styles and their associated behaviors. Preliminary findings suggest a complex interplay of leadership styles, including transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire, among school administrators. These styles were found to impact various teacher behaviors such as instructional practices, motivation, job satisfaction, and professional development engagement. The study also examined contextual factors that influence leadership behaviors and their subsequent impact on teachers. The research contributes to the field of educational leadership by shedding light on the nuanced relationship between leadership styles and teacher behaviors.
