OKUL MÜDÜRLERİNİN ÜRETKEN LİDERLİK DAVRANIŞLARI

Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı, devlet okullarında görev yapan okul müdürlerinin görüşlerine göre okul müdürlerinin üretken liderlik davranışlarının ortaya çıkarılmasıdır. Olgubilim deseniyle yürütülen araştırmada, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden biri olan maksimum çeşitlilik örnekleme yöntemi kullanılarak İstanbul ili Anadolu yakasında bulunan ve devlete ait okullarda görev yapan yirmi beş okul müdürü ile yarı yapılandırılmış soruları kapsayan görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın geçerlik ve güvenirliğini arttırmak ve veri çeşitliliğini, doygunluğunu sağlamak amacıyla görüşme süreci olabildiğince derin ve detaylı bir şekilde yürütülmüş ve aynı zamanda katılımcılarla uzun süreli etkileşim sağlanmıştır. Okul müdürlerinin üretken liderlik olgusu ile ilgili algı ve anlamlandırmaları doğrultusunda elde edilen veriler, içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak kodlanmış ve bu kodlar daha sonra araştırma soruları çerçevesinde kategori ve temalar altında bir araya getirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre okul müdürlerinin üretken liderlik davranışlarının; (1) yaratıcı dinamikleri ortaya çıkarma alt temasında özgür ve rahat bir ortam yaratma, işbirliği süreçlerini harekete geçirme, kurumsal gelişime yönelik informal görüşmeler, yaratıcılığın ve yeniliğin desteklenmesi, paydaşları üretime sevk etme, birey potansiyelini keşfetme ve destekleme davranışları üzerinde yoğunlaştığı, (2) yenilik üretme kapasitesi alt temasında varsayımlara ve alışkanlıklara meydan okuma, gelişim ve öğrenmeye teşvik, üretme ve geliştirme ihtiyacı hissetme, fikir çeşitliliğini destekleme, rutin dışına çıkma ve kişisel gelişime yönelik ihtiyaç hissetme davranışlarında yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulguların ortaya koyduğu şekliyle modern çağın gerektirdiği eğitim süreçlerinde okul müdürlerinin üretken liderlik kapasitesine sahip olmaları, okul ve öğrenci gelişimi açısından ülkelerin eğitim sistemlerine önemli katkılar sağlamaktadır.

GENERATIVE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALS

Abstract

The aim of the study is to reveal the generative leadership behaviors of school principals according to the views of school principals working in public schools. In the study conducted with phenomenological design, interviews with twenty-five school principals who work in state-owned schools in the Anatolian side of Istanbul were conducted using the maximum diversity sampling method, which is one of the purposeful sampling methods, including semi-structured questions. In order to increase the validity and reliability of the study and to ensure the data diversity and saturation, the interview process was carried out as deeply and in detail as possible, and at the same time, long-term interaction with the participants was provided. The data obtained in line with the perceptions and interpretations of the school principals about generative leadership were coded using content analysis technique and these codes were then brought together under categories and themes. According to the findings of the study, the generative leadership behaviors of school principals: (1) focuses on creating a free and comfortable environment, activating cooperation processes, informal interviews for institutional development, supporting creativity and innovation, encouraging stakeholders to production, discovering and supporting individual potential in the sub-theme of revealing creative dynamics. (2) In the sub-theme of capacity to produce innovation, it has been observed that it focuses on the behaviors of challenging assumptions and habits, encouraging development and learning, feeling the need to produce and develop, supporting diversity of ideas, going out of routine and feeling the need for personal development. As the findings reveal, school principals' having generative leadership capacity in the educational processes required by the modern age makes significant contributions to the education systems of countries in terms of school and student development.
