Abstract
The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between the conflict management styles of school principals and the organizational cynicism levels of teachers according to the perceptions of teachers. Relational screening model was used in the study. The universe of the study consists of 1150 teachers working in Maltepe district of Istanbul in the 2021-2022 academic year. The sample selected by random sampling was composed of 288 teachers. In the study, as data collection tools, the Conflict Management Styles Scale was used to determine the conflict management styles of school principals and the Organizational Cynicism Scale for Teachers was used to determine the organizational cynicism levels of teachers. The research revealed that, according to the perceptions of the teachers, the school principals used the highest level of integrating style as the conflict management style, then the compromising, avoiding, obliging styles respectively and the lowest level of dominating style. It was determined that the organizational cynicism levels of the teachers were at the "intermediate level". As a result of the research, a weak negative significant correlation was revealed between the conflict management styles of school principals and the organizational cynicism levels of teachers. When looked at in the context of conflict management styles, a moderately negative significant relationship emerged between integrating style and organizational cynicism, a moderately positive relationship with dominating style, and a weakly negative relationship with compromising style and compromising style. There was no statistically significant correlation between avoiding style and organizational cynicism.
