| Abstract | This study focused on teacher job satisfaction and high teacher turnover rates as they pertain to principal leadership styles. The problem addressed by this study was that teachers are quitting their jobs because they feel dissatisfied in them causing a shortage crisis in the numbers of competent teachers in many countries. In the US alone 25% of teachers leave prior to the end of their 3rd year of teaching and 40% have left before the end of their 5th teaching year. The persistence of teacher turnover steals time, funding and motivation away from school administrators and school teachers who could be giving that time to students in need. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine how principal leadership behaviors influence teacher's job satisfaction allowing exploration from the perception of teachers. The theoretical/conceptual framework for this study was guided by the transformational leadership theory and Maslow's needs hierarchy theory. This study utilized a qualitative case study research design. Seven, full-time, public high school teachers were interviewed over the telephone, the interviews were transcribed verbatim, member checked and analyzed using the Dedoose software to uncover any themes and patterns. Results showed the themes that emerged from the two research questions of, democratic leadership, support, authentic, collaborative, professional development, teacher appreciation and open-door policy among others were responsible for increasing teacher job satisfaction and decreasing teacher turnover rates. The results helped to further the understanding of the relationship between teachers and teacher job satisfaction and principals and their leadership styles concerning teacher job satisfaction and high turnover rates. Future recommendations for practice included finding and developing certain principal styles that teachers see as necessary to maintain job satisfaction.
