OKUL YÖNETİCİLERİNİN ULUSAL KÜLTÜR ALGILARININ LİDERLİK TARZLARINA ETKİSİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada okul
yöneticilerinin ulusal kültür algıları ile liderlik tarzları arasındaki ilişki
incelenmekte ve liderlik tarzlarının oluşmasında ulusal kültür algılarının
etkisinin açıklanması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışma nicel yönelimli, betimsel ve
ilişkisel bir araştırma olup tarama modeli ile desenlendi. Araştırmada
kullanılan veriler Gaziantep il merkezinde yerleşik kamu ilkokullarında görev
yapan 145 okul yöneticisinden yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle toplandı. Araştırma
hipotezlerini test etmek üzere korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizleri uygulandı.
Elde edilen bulgular, ulusal kültür ile liderlik tarzları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı,
ancak zayıf düzeyde bir ilişkinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Araştırma
sonuçlarına göre, okul yöneticilerinin sahip olduğu liderlik tarzlarının
oluşmasında ulusal kültürün önemli bir etkisinin olduğu tespit edildi. Her şart
ve durumda geçerli ideal bir liderlik tarzının olmadığı; yöneticilerin örgüt
içinde liderlik tarzı gösterirken yaşadığı ulusal kültürden etkilendiği
görülmektedir.
