Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between teachers' perceptions of supervisor support and job performances and the mediating role of job satisfaction in this relationship. The study group consists of 206 teachers working in the public high schools in the Giresun province centre during the 2016-2017 academic year. The study group has been determined by simple randomized sampling method. In the study, the effect of teachers' supervisor support perceptions on job performance and the mediating role of job satisfaction have been tested by forming a structural equation model. According to the results, there is a positive linear relationship between supervisor support, job performance and job satisfaction and job satisfaction has a full mediating role between supervisor support and job performance. Key words: Supervisor support, teacher, job satisfaction, performance.

Attitudes and behaviours of the teacher towards the work may affect both the individual and the school-related job outputs
A correlation analysis was conducted to determine the relationships between teachers' supervisor support perceptions, job satisfaction and performance

Summary
Attitudes and behaviours of the teacher towards the work may affect both the individual and the school-related job outputs. Attitudes and behaviours displayed by the teacher, on the other hand, may be affected by the internal and external stakeholders of the school. In this effect, the support of the school administrators to the teachers has an important part. Supervisor support is a general idea developed by supervisors by considering the well-being of their subordinates, offering them solid assistance and emotional support (Kossek et al, 2011) In this regard, support of the school administrator means dignification of teachers, evaluation of their work, offering help and development of positive relationships with teachers by school administarators.
