abstract: The aim of the research is to examine the relationship between principal transformational leadership practices and teacher learning organization practices in cluster secondary schools based on teachers’ perspectives. The purpose of the research is also to a) identify the level of practices of principal transformational leadership based on four leadership dimensions, b) identify the level of teacher learning organization practices based on five principles of learning organization and c) determine the difference in principal transformational leadership practices and teacher learning organization practices based on teachers’ subject specialization. A quantitative research employing a survey method was conducted using questionnaire as a research instrument. The research involved 285 teachers selected based on the stratified sampling method. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results have shown that the level of transformational leadership of principals and teacher learning organization practices are high. Meanwhile, the results of the statistical analysis reveal that there is a moderate positive significant relationship between the principal transformational leadership practices and teacher learning organization practices. There is also a significant difference in both practices of transformational leadership and learning organization in terms of the teachers’ subject specialization. Based on the research, it is stressed that comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the two concepts studied and how they could contribute to school excellence is very crucial. The existing transformational leadership as well as learning organization practices should be continuously improved and further enhanced to ensure the sustainability of schools as learning organizations. This would enable schools to cope with educational change and lead them towards achieving their school excellence.
