It appears that the kind of leadership style of school directors is an influential factor on their work stress. The main goal of present research paper is to show the relationship between leadership styles and work stress of school's directors. Having this goal in mind, two questionnaires were used in order to elicit the results. One questionnaire (with 35 questions) of leadership style determination of Bardnez and Metzkas and the other with 22 questions and with high efficiency measured the stress rate of directors. Also it was found that with increasing orbital relation rate stress rate reduced and with reducing orbital relation rate stress rate increased and there is no direct relationship between being orbital task rate and stress rate and the men s stress rate is more than women s directors. From lateral findings of research and studying of other researches we conclude that other factors such as education level educational field and years of service interfered in the creation of stress.
