This study deals with the relationship between school principals' empowering leadership with teachers' self-efficiency and organizational citizenship behaviours. The target universe for the survey is the teachers teaching in central towns of Malatya province while the sample consists of 483 of them who voluntarily and properly filled the survey. Hypotheses were set prior to the relationship between variables and then the model based on these hypotheses were tested by means of SEM and moderator tests. The results show that the empowering leadership of school principals positively predicted teachers 'self-efficacy and organizational citizenship behaviors, and teachers' self-efficacy positively predicted their organizational citizenship behaviors. However, it explains 16% of the variance in teachers' self-efficiency while the model explains 50% of the variance in organizational citizenship behaviours. Finally, it has been revealed that within the relationship between teachers' organizational citizenship behaviours and empowering leadership; teachers' self-efficiency has a partial moderator role. So it can be stated that our hypothesis on the relationship between school principals' empowering leadership, teachers' perceptions on self-efficacy and organizational citizenship behaviours have been proved while the model based on these hypothesis have also been proven prior to the results of real tests.
