Extensive research has explored the connection between leadership and organizational culture. However, the specific impact of school principals' leadership styles on student achievement, teacher satisfaction, and overall school climate has been under-researched. This study aims to investigate the organizational culture, teacher job satisfaction, and the development of a positive and supportive school culture in various schools in Bhutan, especially Samdrup Jongkhar Dzongkhag. The sample size for this study consisted of 116 school teachers, of whom 90 were currently working in schools in Samdrup Jongkhar. These teachers were asked about their principals’ leadership style and practices, organizational culture in the school, and job satisfaction. It was found that all the teachers agreed on having a positive work culture in their respective schools. Of the 116 teachers, 95 were also satisfied with their job; however, eight were not, and the remaining 13 remained neutral. It can be noted that those who responded positively about their leaders and the organizational culture were the teachers who were satisfied with their job.
