Abstract: This quantitative study determined the relationship between leadership dispositions and behaviors North Carolina teachers and school administrators deemed essential in leadership development and creating a positive school climate. North Carolina teachers and administrators among the chosen eight North Carolina School Districts were surveyed concerning Marzano's 21 responsibilities of school leaders. The quantitative method featured a cross-sectional survey to investigate how the administration's transformational or transactional dispositions were preferred and influenced the teacher's and administrator's perceptions of school climate. Binary logistic regression was employed to infer relationships between the dependent and independent variables in six models. Results showed significant relationships between predictor and criterion variables, including good school climate and preference for leadership styles. Implications for practice included several recommendations for school districts and their leaders. Further research recommendations also stemmed from this project to further examine variables and employ a phenomenological or narrative inquiry design to study several of the predictor variables that would not lend themselves to further quantitative analysis.
