The study tool was included in the questionnaire and was applied to (111) primary school teachers in Makkah Al-Mukarramah, who were selected randomly. The results of the study revealed that there were very positive trends among teachers in the primary stage in Makkah Al-Mukarramah towards the role of the school principal in paying attention to the psychological and social aspects and teacher participation.
