could still be promoted, especially in caring about
individual teachers.

personal transformational leadership in order to forward
school progress.

efforts shaping their visions about school .

leadership, the degree of principals’ restriction and
teachers’ disengagement in the school located in the
municipal city, the provincial city, and the county city can
be promoted.
7.Principals should provide more support for female teachers
in order to eliminate discrimination on sexual cognition.
8.The performance of teachers’ organizational citizenship
behavior can be improved much more. Meanwhile, the lower
degree of teachers’ self-improvement can be a reference for
further research or teachers’ self-examination.

need and achieve transformational leadership. They also have
to promote school positive climate with an effort to make
teachers play a role of an organizational citizen well.

(1)The study can be further extended to conduct nationwide
or in different regions.
(2)School committee or workers can be included in the
research .
(3)The method of quantitative research can be added in the
methodology.
(4)The cognitive difference in principals’ transformational
leadership, school organizational climate, and teacher’s
organizational citizenship behavior between principals
and teachers can be studied and compared.
(5)Other possible variables that affect organizational
citizenship behavior can be included in the analysis of
the research .
