 The primary objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between school principals open leadership behaviors and teachers organizational creativity, as perceived by educators in primary and secondary schools in the province of Balıkesir. The research sample comprises 372 teachers employed in schools located in the Altıeylül and Karesi districts, selected through a non-probability convenience sampling strategy. The Open Leadership Scale was used to assess teachers perceptions regarding school administrators open leadership behaviors. At the same time, the Organizational Creativity Scale was administered to evaluate their perceived levels of organizational creativity. The data obtained from the measurement tools were subjected to descriptive statistical analysis, as well as inferential procedures including the independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and linear regression techniques. Teachers perceptions of open leadership and their organizational creativity levels were examined about variables such as gender, age, years of service, educational level of assignment, and teaching branch. The findings reveal that as teachers age increases, their perception of open leadership also increases, whereas their organizational creativity decreases. Regarding the variable of years of service, more experienced teachers reported higher levels of open leadership perception but lower levels of organizational creativity. When examined in terms of the level of educational assignment, it was observed that primary school teachers reported higher perceptions of open leadership and greater levels of organizational creativity. Likewise, in terms of teaching branch, preschool and classroom teachers demonstrated significantly higher scores on both constructs compared to their peers in other subject areas. Additionally, the findings revealed a statistically significant, moderate, and positive correlation between school principals open leadership practices and teachers organizational creativity. The results suggest that as principals exhibit more open leadership behaviors, teachers organizational creativity is likely to increase correspondingly.
