INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE SERVICE LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS AND PERFORMANCE OF SCHOOL MANAGERS

Abstract

One of the most important factors affecting the output of the education system is the psychology of the teacher and the teacher's commitment to the educational institution, responsibilities and commitment to the profession. If teachers have a good psychology and high organizational commitment, this can have a positive effect on their teaching activities. One of the variables affecting teacher psychology is the principal's leadership behaviors towards teachers. Research is important here. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of school administrators on servant leadership behaviors. Literature scanning model was used in the research. As a result of the research, it was concluded that school administrators have a weak positive effect on servant leadership. The study concluded that school administrators' servant leadership behaviors affect teachers' normative commitment more than other dimensions of organizational commitment. In addition, it was concluded that teachers' perceptions of servant leadership generally did not differ according to teacher demographic variables, but organizational commitment differed according to teacher demographic variables. It has been determined that there are statistically significant differences in the independent variables used in the teacher performance research according to the servant leadership behaviors of school administrators and teacher perceptions. In general, it was determined that there is a positive and moderately significant relationship between the servant leadership of school administrators and the performance of teachers. As a result of the regression analysis, it was concluded that school administrators' servant leadership behaviors significantly predicted teachers' job performances. In general, it was concluded that the servant leadership behaviors of school administrators explained 18% of the variance of teacher performance.
