Abstract

The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between school principals' mind types and their organizational citizenship behaviors[OCBs]. This research was carried out by the quantitative relational survey model. The study was conducted with 346 school administrators who work in different regions of Turkey. The data of this research has been collected by employing “Mind Types Scale” and “OCB Scale”. According to the perceptions of administrators, the disciplinary, synthesizing and creating mind types of the administrators were high, respectful and ethical mind types and OCBs of the administrators were found to be very high. A high level relationship was found between the disciplinary and synthetic mind types of administrators. A positive moderate level relationship between the disciplinary mind and OCB, a positive intermediate level relationship between the synthetic mind and OCB, a positive weak level relationship between the creating mind and OCB, a positive medium level relationship between respectful mind and OCB, and a positive high level relationship between the ethical mind and OCB have been found. Ethical, respectful, synthetic mind were found to be a significant predictor of OCB, while disciplinary and creating mind type were not found to be a significant predictor of OCB.
