The Relationship between Teachers’ Perception about School Managers’ Talent Management Leadership and the Level of Organizational Commitment
Abstract
Problem statement: Talent Management (TM) has been recently seen as a critical success
factor in the development of educational organizations. The problem this study
addresses is whether there is a relationship between teacher
perceptions about school managers’ TM leadership and their level of
organizational commitment (OC). The level of school
managers’ TM leadership characteristics could influence the teachers’ OC either
positively or negatively. Within this context, in this study, great importance
is attached to the determination of the way teachers perceive the school
leaders’ TM behaviors and to the examination of whether these behaviors have a
relationship with teachers’ OC.
Purpose of Study: The purpose of this study is to
determine the relationships between the school managers’ Talent Management
Leadership and teachers’ organizational commitment based on the perception of teachers who are
working for Anatolian High Schools.
Method: For the calculation of the relationships between the
variables, Pearson moments two-way correlation analysis (r) was used.
Pearson relationship coefficient and multiple linear regressions have been used
for data analysis. A total of 402 teachers participated in the study. During
this study, the “Talent Management Leadership Scale” developed by Davies and
Davies has been used to determine the school managers’ talent management
leadership level, and the “Organizational Commitment Scale” developed by Meyer and
Alien has been used to determine the teachers’ OC levels.
Findings and Results: Analyzing the data, a significant,
high-level relationship in a positive direction between TM Leadership and OC is
observed (r=0.80, p<.01). Findings show that teachers’ perception
about school leaders’ talent management leadership is a significant variable
predicting their organizational commitment. Based on the regression analysis
results, the regression equation (mathematical model) for the prediction of
organizational commitment is as follows: OC=0.64+0.44 Strategic acumen+ 0.31
Interoperability+ 0.05 Values+ -0.01 Personal qualities.
Conclusions and
Recommendations: The TM leadership of the school managers as
observed by the teachers has been found to be a significant variable which
predicts teachers’ organizational commitment. The efficiency of school managers in strategic acumen and
interoperability seems to be a significant predictor of teachers’ OC. Within the context of the results
of this study, it may be suggested that various qualitative and quantitative
research should be undertaken to raise consciousness about the TM leadership
approach and to determine the school managers’ and teachers’ views on this
issue in terms of different variables.
