AB  - Hubris kavramı, Antik Yunan mitolojisinden günümüze uzanan bir kavram olarak, bireylerin aşırı özgüven, kendini beğenmişlik ve başkalarını küçümseyen davranışları ile karakterize edilen psikolojik bir durumu ifade etmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, öğretmenlerin görüşlerine dayalı olarak okul yöneticilerinde hubris sendromunun varlığını incelemek ve bu sendromun eğitim kurumlarına etkilerini değerlendirmektir. Araştırma, Kırşehir ilinde görev yapan 24 öğretmenden oluşan bir katılımcı grubu ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenoloji kullanılarak, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi Maxqda nitel analiz programı ile gerçekleştirilmiş ve öğretmen görüşleri sekiz ana tema altında sınıflandırılmıştır: “Otoriter ve Empati Eksikliği Temelli Yönetim Anlayışı”, “Eleştiriye Karşı Tutum”, “Eleştiriye Yanıt”, “Ekip Dinamiği”, “Sorumluluk Alma ve Başarısızlık Yönetimi”, “Davranışsal Değişimler ve Çalışma Ortamının Etkileri”, “Empati”, “Performans, Moral ve İlişkiler.” Araştırma bulguları, okul yöneticilerinde gözlemlenen hubris sendromunun öğretmenlerin iş ilişkileri, motivasyonları ve okul kültürü üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yarattığını ortaya koymuştur.

N2  - The concept of hubris, originating from Ancient Greek mythology, represents a psychological state characterized by excessive self-confidence, self-admiration, and a tendency to demean others. The aim of this study is to examine the presence of hubris syndrome in school administrators based on teachers' perspectives and to assess its impact on educational institutions. The research was conducted with a group of 24 teachers working in Kırşehir. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using semi-structured inter view forms, employing a phenomenological approach as part of the qualitative research design. Data analysis was carried out using the Maxqda qualitative analysis software, and teachers' views were categorized under eight main themes: "Authoritarian and Empathy-Lacking Management Approach," "Attitude Toward Criticism," "Response to Criticism," "Team Dynamics," "Responsibility and Failure Management," "Behavioral Changes and Effects of the Work Environment," "Empathy," and "Performance, Morale, and Relationships." The findings of the study reveal that hubris syndrome observed in school administrators negatively impacts teachers' work relationships, motivation, and school culture.
