Abstract
The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between principal rule administration behavior, hierarchical influence, and teacher loyalty to the principal. An additional intent was to analyze hierarchical influence as a conditioning factor of the principal's rule behavior on teacher loyalty. A significant relationship was found between representative rule behavior of secondary principals and teacher loyalty, and between punishment-centered rule behavior of elementary principals and teacher loyalty. Significant relationships between mock rule and teacher loyalty were not found for either sample. Hierarchical influence was significantly and positively related to teacher loyalty for both samples of principals.Keywords
