In accordance with this reality, the aim of this study is to discover the relationship between perceived transformational leadership behaviors and work engagement. For exploring this relationship, an empirical research was conducted with teachers of Libyan schools in Turkey. In the context of the research, perceived transformational leadership behavior was measured by “Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ-5X)” of Bass and Avolio (1995). On the other side, work engagement was measured by “Work Engagement Scale” of Schaufeli and Bakker (2003). Due to the findings of reliability and validity analyses, reliability and validity of these scales were proven once again in this research. In order to determine the relationship between variables of the research, correlation analysis was used. On the basis of the findings, it can be seen that there is a positive and significant relationship between perceived transformational leadership behaviors and work engagement of teachers. Moreover, this relationship was examined in detail in terms of different aspects of dimensions of transformational leadership behaviors and work engagement.
