The aim of this research is to reveal the level of relationship between school administrators' crisis management skills and teachers' organizational commitment levels and job satisfaction levels. The research is in a quantitative and relational survey model. Data was collected by reaching 453 teachers using an easily accessible sample selection. The reliability values of the collected data are very high. Data were analyzed using parametric tests such as t test, analysis of variance and Pearson correlation tests. Teacher perceptions of school administrators' crisis management skills are high in all items and sub-dimensions. While teachers' organizational commitment level is seen to be at the highest level of emotional commitment, it is generally at a medium level in terms of continuance and normative commitment dimensions. Teachers' job satisfaction levels are high in all items. While teachers' perceptions of school administrators' crisis management skills did not differ significantly according to age, they did differ significantly according to gender, seniority, marital status, education level, branch and career status. While teachers' perceptions of organizational commitment did not differ in all dimensions and in general according to gender, marital status and education level, they differed according to age, seniority and career status.

The relationship between school administrators' crisis management skills and teachers' organizational commitment levels and job satisfaction levels is moderate. In addition, it is positive and an increase in one affects the other in the right direction.
