This study was grounded on social exchange theory to determine the effect of ethical leadership behaviours on teachers` motivation in primary schools in Karagwe District Council. It was also guided by one research hypothesis which were tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. It employed constructivism as research paradigm, quantitative research approach, and explanatory design with 95 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires. The results revealed that ethical leadership behaviors positively affect teachers` motivation. It was also learned that leaders exhibited ethical behaviors based on honesty, justice, integrity and transparency in performing their managerial roles. Leaders’ practices (e.g. care, value, and fairness) indicated the degree to which teachers are motivated. The results call for managerial attention especially ensuring that teachers are well motivated through ethical leadership and human resource management practices
