For this study, “Leadership Styles” questionnaire developed by Günbayı (2005) and “Social Intelligence Scale” developed by Silvera et al. (2001) were administered. The data were analyzed using MANOVA and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient analysis techniques. In the study, significant relationships were found between some dimensions of social intelligences and leadership styles of the administrators.Downloads
