Can teachers' organizational cynicism be explained by the empathic tendency and self-monitoring behavior they perceive from the administration?

Abstract

The success of the organization is closely related to administration philosophies. At this point, the main question is the question of which philosophy the educational institution will be governed by. School is an organization that has an important cultural and humanitarian dimension. The good upbringing of the person depends on the education of that person in strong school culture. In this study, it was aimed to raise the assumption that the self-monitoring behavior of school principals as instructional leaders in a school atmosphere where empathy is not dominant can be perceived by teachers as insincerity, which can create organizational cynicism, however, as a teaching leader, the self-monitoring behaviors that school principals show along with empathy can reduce the organizational cynicism that teachers perceive

Keywords
