Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between teachers' collective efficacy and their perceptions of organizational identity. For this reason, relational survey design was adopted in quantitative research designs. The study group of the research was 322 teachers, vice principals and school principals working in pre-school, primary, secondary and high schools in Bolu province. Collective Efficacy Scale and Teacher Perception of Organizational Identity Scale were used as data collection tools. According to the findings of the study, it was seen that teachers' perceptions of collective efficacy and organizational identity were generally at a high level. A positive and significant relationship was also found between teachers' perceptions of collective efficacy and organizational identity. In addition, it is seen that some personal variables cause a significant difference in teachers' perceptions of collective efficacy and organizational identity.
