The aim of this study is to determine the effect of principals' autocratic and democratic leadership characteristics on job satisfaction, according to teachers' perceptions, and to determine the mediating roles of organizational trust and organizational justice in this relationship. The hypotheses of the research were tested on 568 teachers working in public schools affiliated with the Ministry of Education in the central districts of Mersin province in the 2021-2022 academic year, which was determined as the sample. The research was conducted originally and not inspired by a thesis study. According to the results obtained from the research, there is a negative significant relationship between autocratic leadership and job satisfaction, and organizational trust and organizational justice play a full mediating role in this relationship. While there is a positive and significant relationship between democratic leadership and job satisfaction, organizational trust and organizational justice play a full mediating role in this relationship. It can be mentioned that the leadership characteristics of school principals have an impact on teachers' job satisfaction and that organizational justice and organizational trust play a role in this relationship.
