Abstract
This research aims to examine the mediating role of organizational commitment in the effect of school administrators' servant leadership behavior on teacher motivation. For this purpose, the relational survey model was used in the research. 304 teachers from different regions of Turkey participated in the research. 166 of the participants were female and 138 were male. In the research, Organizational Commitment Scale, Servant Leadership Scale and Intrinsic Motivation Scale were used. The data were collected online. Data showed normal distribution. Cronbach's alpha coefficients of this study were found to be sufficient. It was found that school administrators' servant leadership behavior had a significant effect on organizational commitment. Similarly, organizational commitment had a positive effect on teacher motivation. Additionally, school administrators' servant leadership had an indirect effect on teacher motivation. In the study, the mediating effect of organizational commitment on the effect of school administrators' servant leadership behavior on teacher motivation was significant.
