摘要：This study sought to determine the relationship that exists between the leadership style of elementary principals’ first year of leadership and the organizational climate of the school to which they are assigned to lead. Despite a consistent self-perception by the principals that they used a more transformational style of leadership, this analysis indicated a disparity in the way the principals felt they were demonstrating leadership and the staff perception of the way they were leading. Moreover, the schools with open climates also had principals whose professional staff rated them higher in transformational factors and lower in transactional and passive/avoidant factors. Further analysis revealed that there was a significant relationship between schools having an open or engaged climate and principals utilizing a transformational style of leadership. Similarly, there was a significant relationship between principals who exhibited more transactional leadership qualities and schools that had a closed or disengaged organizational climate.
