Keywords:
Education administrators, Leadership Features, Mobbing, Organisational Commitment
Abstract
This research was conducted with the qualitative research pattern and in the screening model in order to identify the leadership styles of education administrators and the organisational commitment and mobbing exposed by the teachers. From the qualitative research techniques, the semi-structured interview and document analysis were used for the data collection. The generated data indicated that the leadership styles of school administrators have major impact on the organisational commitment and mobbing experience levels of teachers. The results of the research have major significance since they are considered to have important impact on the identification of negative factors on the organisational commitments of teachers and enhancement of the organisational commitments. In consideration with the research results, the shortcomings in the knowledge about the leadership and leadership styles in addition to the low organisational commitment should be taken into great consideration. The recommendations developed following the results are considered to be beneficial for the prevention of future negative behaviours between the school administrators and teachers and the associated negative circumstances.
