Relationships Between Teachers’ Opinions on Perceived Coworkers’ Social Loafing, Organizational Cynicism and Task Visibility

Abstract

The aim of the study is to investigate relationships between teachers' perceptions of coworkers’ social loafing levels and their opinions on organizational cynicism and task visibility. It is also examined whether teachers' opinions on organizational cynicism and task visibility have a predictive effect on their coworkers’ social loafing perceptions. The study was designed with correlational survey model. Population of the research consisted of primary school teachers working in Eskisehir. Sample of the research consisted of 654 teachers selected by using cluster sampling method. Research results showed that teachers' perceptions of coworkers’ social loafing levels and their opinions on organizational cynicism were low but their opinions on task visibility were high. Results of regression analysis showed that the important predictors of teachers' perceptions of coworkers’ social loafing are cognitive cynicism, task visibility, and behavioral cynicism, respectively. It was determined that cognitive cynicism, task visibility and behavioral cynicism explains 14.5% of teachers’ perceptions of coworkers’ social loafing levels. Moreover, it was found that cognitive cynicism and behavioral cynicism positively predicted the perception of social loafing, while task visibility predicted negatively.
