Okul Müdürü Liderliği ve Öğretmen Bağlılığı İlişkisi: Sistematik Bir Derleme

Bu araştırmanın amacı okul müdürlerinin liderlik davranışları ile öğretmenlerin örgütsel bağlılığı arasındaki ilişkilere yönelik yürütülmüş çalışmaların sistematik açıdan analizini yapmaktır. Bu amaçla Türkiye örnekleminde 2000-2017 yılları arasında WOS, ERIC, EBSCO, SCOPUS, ULAKBİM dizinleri ve veri tabanlarında taranan ve belirli kriterlere göre seçilen 23 makale çalışması değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Sonuç olarak incelenen makalelerde, okul müdürlerinin daha yüksek düzeyde liderlik davranışları göstermeleriyle birlikte öğretmenlerin okullarına olan bağlılıklarının arttığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışmalarda öne çıkan liderlik davranışları okulda ortak amaç ve vizyona sahip olma, iş birliği kültürü oluşturma, iletişim ve etkileşimi artırma, bireylere ilgi gösterme ve değer verme, destekleyici ve geliştirici davranışlar, adaletli olma, saygı ve güven temelli çalışma kültürü oluşturma, sorumluluğu paylaşma, okulda değişimi yönetme ve sürdürme olarak tespit edilmiştir. Öte yandan incelenen çalışmalarda okul müdürlerinin örgütsel bağlılıklarıyla dönüşümcü liderlik, hizmetkâr liderlik ve etik liderlik davranışlarının pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bununla birlikte bu liderlik davranışlarının örgütsel bağlılığın önemli yordayıcıları olduğu görülmüştür.

The Relationship Between School Principals' Leadership and Teachers' Organisational Commitment: A Systematic Review

The aim of this study is to conduct a systematic review of studies on the relationship between school principals' leadership behaviours and teachers' organisational commitment. For this purpose, 23 research articles indexed in WOS, ERIC, EBSCO, SCOPUS and ULAKBİM databases between 2000-2017 in the Turkish context and selected through certain criteria were collected for analysis. According to the results of the studies examined, as school principals performed a higher level of leadership behaviours, teachers' level of commitment to their schools increased. The leadership behaviours that were prominent in these studies were having a common objective and vision in school, forming a culture of cooperation, enhancing communication and interaction, showing interest and appreciation of individuals, supportive and constructive behaviours, being fair, creating a working culture based on respect and trust, sharing responsibilities, and managing and maintaining change in school. Moreover, in the studies, school principals' organisational commitment was reported to be positively related to transformational leadership, servant leadership and ethical leadership behaviours. These leadership behaviours were also found to be important predictors of organisational commitment.
