Okul Müdürlerinin Sürdürülebilir Yönetim Davranışları

Abstract

Araştırmanın amacı, devlete ait okullarda görev yapan okul müdürlerinin görüşlerine göre okul müdürlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetim davranışlarının belirlenmesidir. Olgubilim deseniyle yürütülen araştırmada, İstanbul ili Anadolu yakasında devlete ait okullarda görev yapan yirmi beş okul müdürü ile yarı yapılandırılmış sorulardan oluşan görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Okul müdürlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetim ile ilgili anlamlandırmaları çerçevesinde elde edilen veriler, içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak kodlanmış ve bu kodlar, araştırma soruları çerçevesinde çeşitli kategori ve temalar altında bir araya getirilmiştir. Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre okul müdürlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetim davranışlarının; (1) kurumsal işleyişe yönelik davranışlar alt temasında aidiyet duygusu kazandırma, sosyal sorumluluk faaliyetleri yürütme, kurumsal kültür ve kimlik oluşturma davranışlarında yoğunlaştığı, (2) ekonomik verimliliğe yönelik davranışlar alt temasında kaynak tüketiminde önceliklendirme, bütçe dengesini sağlama, var olan kaynakları koruma davranışlarında yoğunlaştığı, (3) çevresel duyarlılığa yönelik davranışlar alt temasında çevre ve doğayı koruma, bilinç oluşturma ve geri dönüşüm uygulamalarını destekleme davranışlarında yoğunlaştığı, (4) koruma hassasiyeti davranışları alt temasında ise örgütte olumlu iklimi ve mirası koruma davranışlarında yoğunlaştığı görülmüştür. Elde edilen bulguların ortaya koyduğu çerçevede okul işleyişinin ve okul yönetim süreçlerinin sürdürülebilir bir yapıda ilerlemesi açısından süreci yöneten okul liderlerinin sürdürülebilir yönetim davranışlarını benimsemeleri önem arz etmektedir.
