Abstract

The paper focuses on the role of the principal role in creating a positive school climate. Undoubtedly, a positive climate is a prerequisite for successful teamwork at school, successful implementation of a lesson, as well as greater motivation and commitment to the cooperation of teachers, students, parents, and the community. A positive school climate exists when all teachers and students feel comfortable, valued, accepted, and safe in an environment where they can interact. It is the belief system or culture that underlies the day-to-day functioning of a school and on which the creation of the school culture depends and has an impact on the achievement of higher results for all students, motivation and productivity, great, as well as effective management. The research was carried out online through Google Forms with a total of 42 principals and 158 teachers responding and completing the questionnaire via links provided and accepted by the schools. Through the use of survey questionnaires for principals and teachers, we have achieved results that show that when teachers feel supported by their principals, they perform better and students have higher learning outcomes. The data collected were processed and analyzed using the SPSS package, allowing us to assess the correlation between the principal's behavior and the school climate.
