This research aimed to examine whether the school climate has an effect on teacher autonomy, according to teachers' opinions. Relational scanning model was used in the research. In addition, it is seen that teacher autonomy perceptions are above average and organizational climate perceptions are below average. As a result of the analysis; According to teachers' perceptions, organizational climate and teacher autonomy perceptions differ between men and women; It has been revealed that it does not vary according to married or single and professional experience. On the other hand, no significance was detected between the teacher autonomy scale and age groups. However, the difference between organizational climate and age groups was found to be statistically significant. Accordingly, it was concluded that the group between the ages of 31-40 and the group between the ages of 41-50 perceived higher organizational climate than the groups aged 51 and over. It was also revealed that teachers' autonomy perceptions did not change according to undergraduate and graduate degrees. However, there were differences in perceptions of organizational climate. This difference is in favor of teachers with undergraduate degrees. In addition, the difference between the organizational climate and the school level groups he worked in was found to be statistically significant. Accordingly, the organizational climate perception of teachers working at other levels of education was higher than that of teachers working in primary and high school. Again, the difference between teacher autonomy and the school level he/she works in was found to be statistically significant. In this case, the autonomy perception of teachers working at other education levels was higher than that of teachers working in high school. Finally, while there is no relationship between the organizational climate and teacher autonomy of the teachers in the study, organizational climate does not significantly predict their perceptions of teacher autonomy. In other words, it appears that the change in teachers' perceptions of organizational climate does not affect their perceptions of teacher autonomy.
