THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ETHICAL LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS OF SCHOOL PRINCIPALSAND SELF EFFICACY OF TEACHERS
Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ethical leadership behaviours of school principals and teacher self-efficacy. The relational scanning model was adopted in the research. Population of the study was constituted by 6887 teachers in the province of Tokat during the academic year 2016-2017 while the its sampling was comprised of 313 teachers. The Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale, which was developed by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk-Hoy (2001), and adapted into Turkish by Çapa, Çakıroğlu ve Sarıkaya (2005), was employed as data collection instrument in order to determine the level of teachers' self-efficacy, and the Ethical Leadership Scale, which was developed by De Hoogh and Den Hartog (2008) and adapted into Turkish by Alkan (2015), was used to determine the level of ethical leadership behaviours of school principals.
The study has concluded that ethical leadership behaviours of school principals and self-efficacy level of teachers are significantly and positively correlated at an average level. Accordingly, it might be claimed that self-efficacy level of teachers tend to increase in parallel with the ethical leadership behaviours of school principals. It was also determined that teacher self-efficacy perception is a low-level, meaningful predictor of change in school principals' ethical leadership behaviors.
