Transformational leadership among school principals is believed to influence the level of job satisfaction among their subordinates. This report discusses transformational leadership among secondary school principals, and explores the relationship between transformational leadership and satisfaction among teachers. This paper also explains the practices of transformational leadership among secondary school principals. An analysis of teachers’ job satisfaction is based upon the Two Herzberg Factors (Herzberg？et al., 1959): A motivational factor and a hygiene factor. This report outlines a qualitative study which employed document analysis as its methodology. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has a significant impact on the level of job satisfaction among teachers. This study also considers the implications of these findings for the Ministry of Education, and how they might affect school management systems, school leaders and teachers, and the motivation and professionalism of secondary school teachers.
