According to quantitative research findings, principal’s leadership behaviours and school culture were positively and moderately correlated in both high achieving (r=0.419, p<0.01) and low achieving schools (r=0.573, p<0.01). Qualitative research findings are further provided to complete the quantitative findings for the teachers’ perceptions on their principal’s leadership behaviours and school culture of selected high and low achieving schools. Based on the related literature and findings of this study, it was recommended that, principals should know about how to operate all four frames of leadership behaviours depending on the conditions and how to shape and change positive school culture for student achievement and schools’ success. 2020-07-01 http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12678/0000005322 https://meral.edu.mm/records/5322
