Bu araştırmanın amacı sınıf öğretmenlerinin algılarına göre okulun mekanik ve organik örgüt yapısı ile öğretmen liderliği arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Çalışmada ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri 2021-2022 eğitim öğretim yılında Bolu Merkez ilçede bulunan 15 devlet ilkokulunda görev yapan 274 sınıf öğretmeninden elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri Freund ve Drach-Zanavy (2007) tarafından geliştirilen, Conley ve You (2014) tarafından okul örgütlerine uyarlanan ve Cerit (2015) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanan “Mekanik ve Organik Örgüt Yapısı Ölçeği” ve Beycioğlu ve Aslan (2010) tarafından geliştirilen “Öğretmen Liderliği Ölçeği” kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Verilerin analizinde aritmetik ortalama ve standart sapma, Pearson Korelasyon testi ve çoklu regresyon testi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada sınıf öğretmenlerinin, okullarının mekanik örgüt yapısından daha çok organik örgüt yapısına sahip olduğunu düşündükleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Öğretmenler kurumsal gelişmenin sağlanabilmesiyle ilişkili liderlik davranışlarını yüksek düzeyde, kendileri ve meslektaşlarının mesleki gelişimlerini gerçekleştirmeye ve meslektaşlarla iş birliği yapmaya ilişkin liderlik davranışlarını ise çok yüksek düzeyde yerine getirdikleri görüşünde oldukları bulunmuştur. Öğretmen liderliği ile mekanik okul yapısı arasında negatif ve orta düzeyde, öğretmen liderliği ile organik okul yapısı arasında pozitif ve orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Mekanik okul yapısı sınıf öğretmenlerinin öğretmen liderliğine ilişkin algısının negatif ve anlamlı, organik okul yapısı sınıf öğretmenlerinin öğretmen liderliğine ilişkin algısının pozitif ve anlamlı yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur.

The purpose of this research is to examine the relationship between the mechanical and organic organizational structure of the school and teacher leadership according to the perceptions of the classroom teachers. The participants of this study consisted 274 classroom teachers at 15 primary schools in Bolu in the 2021-2022 academic year. The data in the research were collected by using Mechanical and Organic Organizational Structure Scale developed by Freund and Drach-Zanavy (2007) and adapted to school organizations by Conley and You (2014), and adapted into Turkish by Cerit (2015), and teacher leadership was measured using Teacher Leadership Scale developed by Beycioğlu and Aslan (2010). Arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson Correlation and multiple regression tests were used in the analysis of the data. In the research, it was revealed that the classroom teachers thought that their schools had an organic organizational structure rather than a mechanical organizational structure. There was a negative and moderate relationship between teacher leadership and mechanical school structure, and a positive and moderate relationship between teacher leadership and organic school structure. It was found that mechanic school structure classroom teachers' perception of teacher leadership was a negative and significant predictor, while organic school structure classroom teachers' perception of teacher leadership was a positive and significant predictor.
