The research objectives of this study were: 1) to explore the SRS school directors’ leadership behaviors as perceived by the SRS teachers, 2) to investigate the degree of the morale level of teachers as perceived by the SRS teachers, 3) to find out the relationship between SRS school directors’ leadership behaviors and teachers’ perceptions of their morale practices, and 4) to identify the SRS directors’ leadership behaviors contribute to teachers’ morale. The present study selected the methods of exploratory sequential design, combining qualitative and quantitative approaches. A total of 452 SRS teachers from different demographic data participated in this study, derived through 10% of total teachers from 50 SRSs and simple random sampling by drawing lots. After the teachers completed the questionnaire, 16 SRS teachers and 8 SRS school directors were recruited for the semi-structured interviews.
