Elementary School Teachers’ Perception of Organizational Identification

Abstract

The main goal of this study was to assess the teachers’ perception of organizational identification and to describe it according to various variables. The study was conducted based on a screening model. The study group consisted of 287 elementary school teachers assigned in seven different provinces, who were selected randomly from the seven geographical regions of Turkey. The “Perception of Organization İdentification in Schools" scale, originally developed by this study’s researcher, was used for data collection purposes. Based on the study’s results, it was determined that elementary school teachers’ perception of organizational identification was “average” in general, according to the study scale and its sub-components. It was determined that the elementary school teachers’ perception of organizational identification differed according to the region they were assigned, their place of residence, the size of their school, the teacher's gender, their professional seniority and the school they had graduated from.
