The Effect of Teachers’ Self Leadership Perceptions on Job Satisfaction

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self-leadership perceptions and job satisfaction of teachers working at Anatolian high schools. The study was based on survey model among descriptive research methods. During the data collection process, the working group including 477 teachers working at Anatolian high schools in Gaziantep were administered “Self-Leadership Scale”, “Job Satisfaction Scale” and self-description form. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the variables while multiple regression analyzes were performed to examine the effect of independent variable on the dependent one. In addition, path analysis was conducted to confirm the model that was created through regression analysis. According to the findings of the study, it was concluded that there was a moderate, positive and significant relationship between self-leadership perceptions and job satisfaction of teachers. The results of regression analysis yielded that teachers' self-leadership perception was a significant predictor of their level of job satisfaction. Moreover, it was confirmed that the goodness of fit indices of the obtained model were within acceptable limits based on the path analysis. As a result of research, it can be claimed that job satisfaction levels of individuals increase together with the rise in self-leadership perceptions and that trainings to enhance teachers’ self-leadership behaviors will contribute to individual and organizational development.
