The measurement tools were the questionnaires of Castelli (2012) and Castelli et al. (2017), Zaki et al. (2006) and Bani Hashemian (2009). The results of the correlation test showed that there was a significant relationship between participative leadership and the effectiveness and efficiency of teachers.
