Abstract	The purpose of this correlational study was to explore the relationship, if any, between school principals' laissez-faire leadership and teacher turnover. My research expanded the literature to focus specifically on principal gender and teachers at different levels of teaching experience. I used the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) to measure the independent variable, principals' laissez-faire leadership, and the Turnover Intention Scale (TIS-6) to survey the dependent variable, teacher turnover intention. The study found that experienced teachers who are led by laissez-faire principals are more likely to leave their job. The findings illuminated that it is teachers with more than three years of teaching experience who tend to want to leave their job more when led by a laissez-faire principal. This is concerning given that teacher turnover is detrimental to maximizing student achievement. The findings of this study provide a foundation for educational leaders to understand that they should be active and accessible to staff to avoid teacher turnover.
