Abstract:

 The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between entrepreneurial school leadership and teacher entrepreneurship based on teacher perceptions and to reveal whether teachers perceived positive psychological capital plays a mediating role in this relationship. The participants of the study consisted of 1200 teachers working in public schools in Pendik district of Istanbul in the 2020-2021 academic year. The data of this quantitative study, in which structural equation modeling and mediation tests were used, were obtained using the Entrepreneurial Leadership Scale, Entrepreneurial Teacher Behaviors Scale and Positive Psychological Capital Scale. The results obtained from the research show that school leaders exhibit entrepreneurial leadership behaviors above the average in management processes, and that these entrepreneurial behaviors exhibited by school leaders significantly predict teacher entrepreneurship and teachers perceptions of positive psychological capital in a positive direction. Furthermore, it was found that teachers perceived positive psychological capital played a mediating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and teacher entrepreneurship. The model created in this context explains about 55 of the change in teacher entrepreneurship. In line with the evidence obtained from the research, it is recommended to organize awareness and development trainings for school leaders and teachers on entrepreneurial leadership, which is considered as a new leadership approach, teacher entrepreneurship and positive psychological capital, and to conduct studies on entrepreneurial leadership and different variables and mediators.

 Girişimci liderlik, öğretmen girişimciliği ve pozitif psikolojik sermaye kavramlarını içeren bu araştırmada, öğretmen algılarına dayalı olarak girişimci okul liderliği ile öğretmen girişimciliği arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek, öğretmenlerin algılanan pozitif psikolojik sermayelerinin bu ilişkide aracılık rolü olup olmadığını ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın katılımcılarını 2020-2021 eğitim öğretim yılında İstanbul ili Pendik ilçesindeki resmi okullarda görev yapan 1200 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Yapısal eşitlik modeli ve aracılık testlerinin kullanıldığı bu nicel araştırmanın verileri, Girişimci Liderlik Ölçeği, Girişimci Öğretmen Davranışları Ölçeği ve Pozitif Psikolojik Sermaye Ölçeği kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlar okul liderlerinin yönetim süreçlerinde ortalamanın üzerinde girişimci liderlik davranışları sergilediklerini, okul liderlerinin sergiledikleri bu girişimci davranışlarının öğretmen girişimciliğini ve öğretmenlerin pozitif psikolojik sermaye algılarını pozitif yönde anlamlı şekilde yordadığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca girişimci liderlik ile öğretmen girişimciliği arasındaki ilişkide öğretmenlerin pozitif psikolojik sermaye algılarının aracı role sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda oluşturulan model öğretmen girişimciliğindeki değişimin yaklaşık 55ini açıklamaktadır. Araştırmadan elde edilen kanıtlar doğrultusunda yeni bir liderlik anlayışı olarak değerlendirilen girişimci liderlik ile öğretmen girişimciliği ve pozitif psikolojik sermaye konularında okul liderleri ve öğretmenlere yönelik farkındalık ve geliştirme eğitimlerinin düzenlenmesi, girişimci liderlik ile farklı değişkenlerin örgütsel sinerji, örgütsel sinizm vb. ve aracıların iş doyumu, kontrol odağı, vb. ele alındığı çalışmaların yapılması önerilmektedir.
