Description By doing their job, school psychologists can positively influence school climate and interpersonal relationships in school. They often closely cooperate with school management in this matter. Translated text primarily focuses on the topic of social power that exists between all the subjects in school. Types of social power described by French and Raven are connected to leadership styles – transactional and transformational. First results of questionnaire on elementary school’s teachers are presented in the second part of this paper. I aimed to discover how teachers perceive social power and leadership types and how it’s reflected on their job satisfaction. Results can be inspirational for school psychologists in the way to better understand social power and leadership issues, and relationship issues between teachers and school management. Theories such as this one can help to give an insight to relationship between target subjects: teachers and students, teachers and school management, counsellors and teachers.
