Examining the Concept of Empowering Leadership in the Context of Physical Education and Sports Teachers: A Qualitative Research

Abstract

The concept of empowerment emerged due to the need for an organizational concept that could increase employee productivity in response to fundamental technological and commercial changes in organizations in the private and public sectors. The concept of empowerment is expressed as employees feeling useful and discovering their talents at the end of the work done. It is also defined as delegating authority/transferring power to others (employees). In this context, educational organizations, like other organizations, have a dynamic structure. Mobility and transformation constantly occur in the education and training process. Therefore, within the scope of educational organizations, it is thought that the most critical factors for schools to achieve organizational goals are strong school leaders and teachers. In this regard, it is understood that adopting a management approach aimed at empowering school principals and teachers, depending on complex environmental and organizational situations, can produce positive results. In this context, teacher empowerment is predicted to be an excellent way to create strong and effective school teams. Teacher empowerment is often used to describe how teachers are given a say in decision-making processes regarding teaching and learning in their schools. Teacher empowerment involves opportunities for teachers to engage in power structures and develop their sense of responsibility/self-determination in their schools. Within the framework of the teaching profession, physical education and sports teachers have a unique role in educational activities and in ensuring students' cognitive, emotional, social, physiological and motoric development (holistic development). Accordingly, the research was conducted to examine the concept of empowering leadership in the context of physical education and sports teachers. Many relevant national and international publications were examined in this qualitative research using the literature review approach. As a result of this literature review, it was concluded that when physical education and sports teachers are empowered, various positive individual and organizational outcomes can be achieved effectively and efficiently. For this reason, it is thought that it is crucial to create a school climate that will enable physical education and sports teachers to display behaviours that will empower them.
