Eğitim Yöneticilerinin Nepotizm Uygulamalarının Eğitimcilere Yönelik Etkilerinin Araştırma Bulgularının Değerlendirmesi

Abstract

The general purpose of the research is to determine the “evaluation of research findings of the effects of nepotism practices of educational administrators on educators”. For this reason, it was tried to determine the perceptions of teachers working in a school located in Esenyurt district of Istanbul about nepotistic-discriminatory attitudes exhibited by managers by taking into account gender, age, teaching level and years of professional experience. In order to understand whether managers in educational institutions are involved in such nepotistic activities, answers to a number of research questions were sought. In addition, in this research, the reflection of the behavior of managers working in educational institutions on the perception and performance of teachers will be determined. It is aimed to enable people who have an administrative identity in a managerial sense to make self-assessment on their own behavior through an external eye. When the area related to nepotism was scanned in the summer, it was found that studies were mostly conducted on nepotistic behavior in private sector schools. With this study, it is expected that the determinations at the points where public educators are exposed to similar behaviors and this effect is actually maintained in a much more dominant way will benefit the field. For this reason, it will be beneficial to create fair, unifying environments in schools, strengthen communication channels, and adopt an equal distance approach to everyone. Since the decisions taken in any negative situation will be binding on everyone, managers who exhibit an inclusive attitude will thus be able to reduce the perception of favoritism in the teacher. It is thought that the findings obtained as a result of the study will guide institution managers to learn the perceptions of employees related to nepotistic behavior at work; in this context, institution managers will observe their shortcomings and misbehavior, if any, by self-criticism about nepotistic behavior in activities and correct them.
