The Primary purpose of this study was to test how much transformational leadership and transactional leadership have effects on the leadership effectiveness.
The research questions for this study are as follows :
First, do there any differences in teachers' perception level of principals' transformational and transactional leadership according to teachers' background(sex, position, career as a teacher, academic background)?
Second, is there a relationship between transformational and transactional leadership and leadership effectiveness?
Third, which transformational leadership factors and transactional leadership factors have effects on the leadership effectiveness(extra effort, effectiveness, satisfaction)?
Fourth, which transformational leadership factors and transactional leadership factors have effects on the leadership effectiveness(extra effort, effectiveness, satisfaction) according to teachers' background(sex, position, career as a teacher, academic background)?
The data was analyzed by one way Anova, correlation analysis, and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The findings of the study are as follows :
First, there were not significant differences in teachers' perception level of transformational leadership and transactional leadership of principals according to teachers' sex. But principals' leadership level was perceived higher by teachers who had long career as a teacher, higher position, and lower academic background than others.
Second, there was positive relationship between transactional and transformational leadership factors and leadership effectiveness with the exception of management-by exception factor. These results accord with Bass's results. So, transactional and transformational leadership theory is regarded as a valid theory in elementary school organizations in korea.
Third, transformational leadership had effects on teachers' extra effort and teachers' satisfaction to principals. Transactional leadership had effects on teachers' perception of school effectiveness. These results support Bass's theory that leaders exert transactional leadership and transformational leadership to some degree at the same time.
Fourth, not only transformational leadership but also transactional leadership had effects on teachers' extra effort. This result means that transactional leadership can arise performance beyond expectations, too.
