Descriptive and inferential statistics such as mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficients, and data analysis were used to analyse the data. According to teachers' opinions working in both public and private schools, when the findings obtained from the research were examined, there was a significant positive relationship between school effectiveness and the sub-dimensions of positive psychological capital. It was concluded that the teachers' effective school and positive psychological capital levels working in private schools were higher than the teachers working in public schools.
