摘要：AbstractOne of the problems in improving process of the schools is “cynicism”. Cynicism is an attitude in which individual benefits are the foreground and is described as scepticism, negativism and being pessimistic about facts. In schools, what is expected from the school principals is to realize the change and mutation depending on the improvements. Leadership is a process that manages people affecting towards organizational aims. Leadership has two dimensions: to organize a structure and tolerance in organization (culture and climate). In this study, it is tried to determine correlations between teacher's organizational cynicism and leadership skills of school principals. The analysis of the data was made by using SPSS 15.0 and in order to determine whether some demographic features (e.g., sex, marital status, educational status) show a meaningful difference on the lower dimensions of organizational cynicism and leadership behaviour, Whitney-U and Kruskal Wallis-H tests were used; and a meaningful difference was not observed. Furthermore, Pearson correlation and regression analysis were used to measure the level of relation and being predictable between the organizational cynicism and lower dimensions of leadership behaviour. In accordance with the result of the research's findings, it was found a negatively directed and medium-level relation between cynicism and leadership behaviour.
