Regression analysis was used to achieve all the three objectives as well as research questions. Empirical outcomes revealed that principal leadership styles-transformational, laissez-faire and transactional leadership styles had negative, and positive influence on teachers’ productivity with t (273) = (-.480; -2.710 & 0.633) respectively. Moreover, teachers’ work-related flow had positive and significant effect on teachers’ productivity as t (273) = 3.18 and p = .002 < 0.05. And that 55.8% variation that took place in teachers’ productivity was as a result of combine influence of teachers’ work-related flow experience and principal leadership styles.
