<p> Researchers have explored various antecedents to teacher efficacy in an effort to shape leadership practice to promote this elusive construct. This study was conducted as a meta-analysis of the extant literature regarding principal leadership and teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. After a comprehensive search, a sample of 29 studies were determined to have met the inclusion criteria for this meta-analysis. These studies referenced Bandura’s theory of self-efficacy as a theoretical framework and tested a correlation between teacher efficacy and principal leadership.</p><p> The purpose of this study was to deepen the understanding of how much, if at all, principal leadership affects teachers’ sense of self-efficacy. The research questions for this study were as follows: (a) To what extent is school principal leadership associated with teachers’ sense of teaching efficacy? and (b) Does the relationship between school principal leadership and teachers’ sense of teaching efficacy vary as a function of the measured leadership constructs?
