The Effect of School Administrators' Level of Positive Psychological Capital on School Atmosphere
Öz
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of school administrators' positive psychological capital levels on school climate. The sample group of the study, in which the relational survey model was used, consisted of 327 school administrators. In the study, 'Questionnaire Form' was applied to obtain demographic information of the participants and then the 'Positive Psychological Capital Scale' and 'School Climate Scale' were applied to obtain data. In the study, it was seen that school administrators had a 'Very Good' level of psychological capital. It was seen that the perception levels of school administrators' positive psychological capital differed significantly in the sub-dimension of "psychological resilience" according to the gender variable in terms of socio-demographic characteristics. While the age variable had a significant and positive effect on the 'self-efficacy' sub-dimension, it was observed that the professional experience variable did not have a significant effect on the positive psychological capital perceptions of administrators. In addition, the income variable was found to have a significant effect on the dimensions of 'optimism and extroversion'. As a result, it was determined that administrators' perceptions of positive psychological capital positively affect school climate. The results were discussed on the basis of the related literature and suggestions for future research were presented.
