Summary/Abstract: In this study, the effects of favoritism attitudes and behaviors of school principals on teachers' performance will be examined. Nepotism is considered by many experts to be a sensitive situation in schools where education and training are applied, as it changes the organizational activities defined as the realization of goals and objectives set by a person. For this reason, according to the level of empathy of teachers, whether school principals are fair in their nepotistic attitudes and behaviors can be understood from the trust felt in the principal and their constructive, analytical approaches in the field of education. Administrators working in schools should manage their affairs by taking into account the principles of fairness and openness. Thus, school administrators will have drawn a picture away from nepotism by keeping an equal distance from their colleagues. It has been observed that teachers who are exposed to nepotistic attitudes question the concept of justice and even want to leave the school where they work. Because these behaviors negatively affect the teacher's performance. While the teacher should devote his motivation and achievement motivation to his students and profession in line with the education he receives, the teacher's professional task is disrupted due to spending his labor on problems arising from nepotism, as a result of which reluctance occurs and the motivation graph decreases. Nepotistic attitudes and behaviors negatively affect the achievement bar and efficiency of teachers in performing their professions. This situation can cause things to become impossible to get out of, and then it can't be executed after a while. As a result, teachers' job performance, motivation decreases and failure situations may occur.
