Leadership characteristics of school administrators and the level of perception of teachers towards leadership behaviors are essential for school success. Being conscious of the relationship between the behaviors that affect teachers' behaviors and their consequences has the potential to improve school achievement. This study aimed to investigate the effects of empowering leadership characteristics of school administrators on teacher entrepreneurship. The research employed the quantitative method, and 400 teachers participated in the study electronically. The data were analysed using descriptive and correlation and regression analysis techniques. The teachers in Sakarya Province participated in the research, and the analyses of their responses revealed that the level of teachers' perceptions of empowering leadership was average and did not differ according to gender. It was observed that the perceptions of coaching for innovative performance decreased as the educational level increased. For this reason, the higher the education levels of the teachers, the higher their expectations of empowering leadership. It determined that the level of risk-taking and initiative-taking of teachers varied by their seniority years and gender, and the perception of risk-taking and initiative-taking was higher in both males and teachers with more seniority years. Junior teachers can develop risk-taking and initiative behaviours through activities that make them feel comfortable.
