Relationship among Teacher Performance, Organizational Loyalty, Charismatic Leadership
Abstract
This study aims at examining the multidimensional relationships between teacher performance, organizational loyalty and charismatic leadership based on the opinions of primary teachers who were working in public schools in Ankara. The study utilized a quantitative research methodology with a correlational survey design. We used the stratified sampling method to determine the study sample. Accordingly, the sample consisted of 514 teachers working during the 2020-2021 Academic Year in Ankara. We used descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and structural equation modelling to analyze the study data. The study findings revealed that charismatic leadership had a statistically significant direct impact on organizational loyalty, whereas organizational loyalty had a statistically significant direct impact on teacher performance. Furthermore, we found out that charismatic leadership indirectly affected teacher performance via the mediation of organizational loyalty. We discussed the study findings based on the related literature and offered some suggestions relying on the findings.
