Okul Müdürlerinin Paternalistik Liderlik Davranışları ile Öğretmenlerin Örgütsel Dışlanma Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişki

Abstract

Bu çalışmada paternalist liderlik ile sınıf öğretmenlerinin örgütsel dışlanma yaşama düzeyleri arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın verileri Bartın ilindeki ilkokullarda çalışan 101 sınıf öğretmeninden elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmanın verileri Ferris et al. (2008) tarafından geliştirilen Çelik ve Koşar (2015) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan İşyeri Dışlanma Ölçeği ile Aycan, Schyns, Sun, Felfe & Saher (2013) tarafından geliştirilen paternalist liderlik ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ortalama, standart sapma, korelasyon ve regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Korelasyon analizi sonuçları paternalist liderlik ile sınıf öğretmenlerinin örgütsel dışlanma düzeyleri arasında anlamlı ve olumsuz ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Regresyon analizi ise paternalist liderliğin sınıf öğretmenlerinin örgütsel dışlanma düzeylerinin önemli bir yordayıcısı olduğunu ortaya çıkarmıştır.
