Abstract

Bu araştırmada, okul yöneticilerinin dönüşümcü liderlik davranışı ve öğretmenlerin psikolojik sözleşme algıları arasındaki ilişki, ortaöğretim kurumlarında görevli öğretmenlerin görüşüne göre incelenmiştir. Araştırmaya Ankara iline bağlı dokuz metropoliten ilçede görev yapmakta olan 389 öğretmen katılmıştır. Araştırma verisi Dönüşümcü Liderlik Davranışı Envanteri ve Psikolojik Sözleşme Envanteri ile toplanmıştır. Araştırma verisi, betimsel istatistikler ve regresyon analizi ile çözümlenmiştir. Bulgular okul yöneticilerinin dönüşümcü liderlik davranışını yüksek düzeyde gösterdikleri sonucunu vermiştir. Araştırmaya katılan öğretmenlerin psikolojik sözleşme puanlarının da yüksek düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda dönüşümcü liderlik ile psikolojik sözleşme arasında pozitif yönde orta düzeyde ilişki olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonucu dönüşümcü liderliğin öğretmenlerin psikolojik sözleşme algılarının anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Araştırmada elde edilen sonuçlar okul yöneticilerinin dönüşümcü liderlik davranışının öğretmenlerin psikolojik sözleşme algısını pozitif yönde oluşturmada önemli bir etken olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Bu kapsamda okul yöneticilerinin dönüşümcü liderlik kapasitelerini artırmaya yönelik politikalar geliştirilmesi ve okul yöneticilerinin dönüşümcü liderlik uygulamalarını teşvik edici düzenlemeler yapılması önerilmiştir.

Teachers’ Opinion on The Relation Between Transformational Leadership and Psychological Contract

Abstract

In this research, the relationship between school administrators' transformational leadership behavior and teachers' perceptions of psychological contracts was examined according to the opinions of teachers working in secondary education institutions. The participants of the research consist of 389 teachers working in nine metropolitan districts of Ankara. Research data were collected with the Transformational Leadership Behavior Inventory and the Psychological Contract Inventory. The research data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The results obtained as a result of the research show that school administrators show a high level of transformational leadership behavior. It was determined that the psychological contract levels of the teachers participating in the study were also at a high level. As a result of the research, it was observed that there is a moderately positive relationship between transformational leadership and psychological contracts. Multiple linear regression analysis results show that at least one dimension of transformational leadership is a predictor of psychological contract. The results obtained in the study reveal that the transformational leadership behavior of school administrators is an important factor in creating a positive perception of teachers' psychological contracts. In this context, it is recommended to develop policies to increase the transformational leadership capacity of school administrators and to make arrangements to encourage the transformational leadership practices of school administrators.
