Abstract: In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between the emotion management competencies of school administrators and their decision-making styles. The research was conducted with 435 teachers in Sakarya using a survey model. According to the results, the emotion management competencies of school administrators were found to be high. Based on the opinions of the participant teachers, while the "marital status" variable did not differentiate the opinions regarding the administrators' ability to manage emotions, significant differences were observed in relation to the variables of "gender," "school type," and "tenure at the school." Regarding the decision-making styles of the administrators, participant teachers reported that the variables of "marital status," "school type," and "working time at school" did not lead to differing opinions; however, differences were noted in the "gender" variable. This study, which investigated the relationships between emotion management and decision-making styles, revealed that emotion management ability is effective in the decision-making process. It has been demonstrated that effective decisions can result from evaluating both emotion and logic together in a decision-making process closely corelated to both.
