Abstract :In this study, it is aimed to examine the effect of job satisfaction of high school principals on school leadership. For this purpose, the data obtained through the \"School Leadership Scale\" and \"Job Satisfaction with Profession Scale\" in the \"Teaching and Learning International Survey -TALIS- data set published by OECD were used. The sample of the study consists of 448 high school principals randomly selected by TALIS through two-stage stratified sampling method to represent the international population. The test of variability between the perceptions of principals according to the personal variables of the research was tested by causal comparison model; whether there is a relationship between principals\' professional job satisfaction and school leadership was tested by correlation model; the predictive power of high school principals\' professional job satisfaction on school leadership was tested by multiple regression model. As a result of the research, it was revealed that there is a positive and significant relationship between high school principals\' professional job satisfaction and school leadership, and as principals\' perceptions of professional job satisfaction increase, school leadership behaviour levels increase. For practitioners, it is suggested that renumeration, benefits and workplace conditions job satisfaction elements be put into practice and structural arrangements be made in this direction in order to ensure the professional job satisfaction of school leaders.
