Abstract :This study examines the relationship between authentic leadership behaviors of school administrators and emotional labor behaviors of teachers. A total of 426 teachers working in Istanbul participated in the study. In this quantitative study using relational survey model, Demographic Information Form, Authentic Leadership Scale and Emotional Labor Scale were used in the data collection process. As a result of the study, it was found that teachers\' emotional labor behaviors and deep acting sub-dimension did not differ significantly according to gender. However, they differed in the sub-dimensions of surface acting and genuine emotions. While there were significant differences in general emotional labor level and genuine emotions sub-dimension according to age variable, there were no significant differences in surface acting and deep acting sub-dimensions. It was observed that teachers who chose the teaching profession voluntarily had a higher level of genuine emotions than those who chose the teaching profession with the influence of family and environment. A positive relationship was found between self-awareness, balanced processing and an internalized moral perspective, sub-dimensions of authentic leadership, and emotional labor behaviors. No significant relationship was found between relational transparency and emotional labor behaviors.
