Abstract	This study examined public elementary school teachers' perceptions of leadership behaviors and their effects on job satisfaction. Teachers are affected by leaders and their behaviors, so their perceptions of those behaviors must be understood and studied. This study identified the leadership behaviors positively impact teachers' job satisfaction and which leadership style: transactional, transformational, or laissez-faire, contained those behaviors. Participants included 263 elementary school teachers, who completed a survey that measured their overall job satisfaction using Spector's (1985) Job Satisfaction Survey. The survey also measured their perceptions of leadership behaviors in five dimensions, including human relations, trust, control, conflict, and instructional leadership, using Bulach et al. (2006) Survey of Supervisory Behaviors. Descriptive and inferential statistics analyzed the data. Teacher survey responses indicated that the area of conflict had the most robust Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.70, showing a significant, positive correlation to overall job satisfaction. Trust/Decision-Making had the weakest Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.62. A Pearson correlation showed a positive correlation between teacher job satisfaction and positive leadership behaviors. Kruskal-Wallis results showed a statistically significant difference in overall job satisfaction between the different leadership styles. The study findings provide a foundation for future leadership prep programs and professional development for current administrators. The most significant finding is the role that self-efficacy plays in the connection between leadership behaviors, teacher job satisfaction, positive leadership behaviors, and leadership styles.
