Abstract
This correlational study examines the relationship between the instructional leadership behaviors of school administrators and the collaboration behaviors among the teachers in the same branch according to teachers' perceptions. The research sample was determined by an easily accessible sampling method and consisted of 403 teachers working in public primary and secondary schools in the central districts of Ankara. The data in the study were collected using the "Instructional Leadership Behavior Scale" and "Scale for Determining the Level of Collaboration of Group Teachers." Mean and standard deviation values were calculated in the data analysis, and correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were conducted. The study results show that principals exhibit high levels of instructional leadership behaviors according to teachers' perceptions. Similarly, teachers' collaboration behaviors are also high. A positive and significant relationship was found between principals' instructional leadership and teachers' collaborative behaviors. According to the regression results, principals' instructional leadership behaviors significantly predicted teacher collaboration. Based on the results, some implications for the future were made, and suggestions were made to researchers and practitioners.
