Abstract
Principal, as the manager and expert leader of a school, performs out numerous tasks to ensure quality and harmonious operations within the school. The principal has the leading role in creating a positive and encouraging environment for the implementation of the teaching process. One of the conditions needed to create such an environment is providing support to teachers.
The aim of this research was to examine how teachers perceive principal support according to their workplace (classroom teaching or subject teaching), age, years of work experience and the size of their school. The research was conducted online. The participants were 761 teachers from various parts of the Republic of Croatia. Research has shown that primary school teachers perceive a high level of principal support and that there are no differences in their perceptions in terms of their workplace, age, years of work experience or the size of their school. The concluding part of the paper presents guidelines for potential future research on principal support.
