Abstract

Leadership continues to be one of the most discussed topics in the field of management and there are ongoing studies regarding its types and effectiveness in several kinds of organizations. Among others, educational institutions have gained considerable interest from researchers due to the significance of education in a society. In educational context, elementary education has a critical place in terms of guiding all academic education. From this point of view, this paper seeks to determine which types of leadership related to elementary schools have been commonly investigated in the last six years both in Turkey and at abroad, and which outcomes related to teachers have been associated with those leadership styles. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to offer an insight into the recent trend in educational management literature and provide a brief summary of recent studies in this regard, which may be useful for future researchers.
