This paper has investigated the principals’ transformational leadership impact on the government and private school teachers of Haryana State, India. A sample of 400 teachers and 100 principals was selected for this purpose. The transformational leadership practices were assessed based on Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ). The MLQ scales relevant to transformational leadership proved to be quite reliable and helped in predicting the relation between transformational leadership and teachers’ satisfaction and commitment towards their jobs. Behavioral and attitudinal data was collected from both principals and teachers. The analysis illustrated that transformational leadership has a significant impact on male as well as female teachers working in different departments of private or government institutes.
