Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin okullarındaki örgütsel dedikodunun işlevlerine ilişkin görüşleri ile tükenmişlik düzeylerini tespit etmek ve aralarındaki ilişkiyi ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma, ilişkisel tarama modelinde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın evrenini, Batman İl Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğünden alınan verilere göre; 2019-2020 eğitim ve öğretim yılında Batman ilinde görev yapan 7600 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Bu evrenden basit tesadüfi (seçkisiz) yöntem ile seçilen 340 öğretmen, araştırmanın örneklemini oluşturmuştur. Araştırmanın verileri, Örgütsel Dedikodu Ölçeği ile Maslach Tükenmişlik Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin örgütsel dedikodunun alt boyutları ile tükenmişlik düzeyleri arasında; haberdar olma boyutuyla pozitif yönlü düşük düzeyde, ilişkileri geliştirme ve örgütsel zarar boyutlarıyla pozitif yönlü çok düşük düzeyde bir ilişki saptanmıştır.
