Bu çalışmanın amacı, lise öğretmenlerinin algılarına okul yöneticilerini ikiyüzlü davranışları ile öğretmenlerin örgütsel sessizlik ve örgütsel bağlılıkları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektir. Daha da önemlisi, bu çalışma algılanan örgütsel ikiyüzlülük ile çalışan sessizliği arasındaki ilişkide örgütsel bağlılığın aracılık rolünü incelemektedir. Araştırma nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli yürütülmüştür. Araştırmanın evrenini Siirt ili ve ilçelerindeki liselerde görev yapan merkezi 412 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında veri toplama aracı olarak kişisel bilgi formu, ikiyüzlülük ölçeği, örgütsel sessizlik ve örgütsel bağlılık ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Ölçeklerin yapı geçerliliğini değerlendirmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma Hipotezlerini test etmek amacıyla Pearson korelasyon analizi ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesi (YEM) kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, Korelasyon sonuçları tüm değişkenler arasında anlamlı ilişkiler olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Analiz sonuçları, örgütsel sessizlik ile örgütsel bağlılıkla arasında negatif ve ikiyüzlülük ile pozitif yönde ilişikli olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, ikiyüzlülük ile örgütsel bağlılık arasında güçlü ve negatif bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Yapılan, yapısal eşitlik modellemesi analizi, okul yöneticilerinin söylem ve edimleri arasındaki uyumsuzluğun öğretmenlerin sessizliğini ve örgütsel bağlılığı önemli ölçüde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlar, örgütsel ikiyüzlülüğün öğretme ve öğrenme sonuçları üzerindeki zararlı etkisini vurgulayarak, uygulayıcılar için değerli bilgiler sunmaktadır. Bu bulgulara dayanarak, okul yöneticilerine okul üyeleri arasında ikiyüzlülüğün yayılmasını önlemek için çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Between Words and Actions: Understanding the Relationship Between Organizational Hypocrisy, Teacher Silence, and Commitment

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between high school teachers' perceptions of school principals' hypocritical behavior and, teachers' organizational silence and organizational commitment. More importantly this study examines the mediating role of organizational commitment in the relationship between perceived organizational hypocrisy and employee silence. The research was conducted using the correlational survey design, one of the quantitative research methods. The population of the study consisted of 412 teachers working in high schools in Siirt province and its districts. Data collection tools used in the study included a demographic form, a hypocrisy scale, and scales measuring organizational silence and organizational commitment. Confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the construct validity of the scales. Pearson correlation analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to test the research hypotheses. The research results reveal that the correlation results indicate significant relationships among all variables. The analysis results reveal that organizational silence is negatively related to organizational commitment and positively related to hypocrisy. Furthermore, a strong and negative relationship was found between hypocrisy and organizational commitment. The structural equation modeling analysis conducted showed that the inconsistency between school administrators' discourse and actions significantly affected teachers' silence and organizational commitment. These findings emphasize the harmful effect of organizational hypocrisy on teaching and learning outcomes, providing valuable information for practitioners. Based on these findings, various recommendations have been made to school administrators to prevent the spread of hypocrisy among school members.
