Following results were obtained from the study: Opinions of inspectors on displaying their mentorship roles are higher than the school administrators in all dimensions. When the inspectors display sharing, guiding, emphatic behaviors, this has a positive effect on the development of the school administrators. Prohibitive, prejudiced, worrisome, judgmental, offending, inconsistent, highbrow behaviors of the inspectors avoid a comfortable communication/interaction with the school administrators and hinder the administrators to have occupational benefits from the inspectors.},author={Durdu Mehmet BAYRAKTAR},year={2016},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
