Eğitim Kurumu Yöneticilerinin Kayırmacı Tutum ve Davranışlarının Sonuçları

Abstract

In this study, where the results of nepotistic attitudes and behaviors of educational institution managers are examined, it is aimed to provide qualitative content support to researchers who will conduct research on this topic by contributing to the literature on the consequences of nepotism. The expectation of individuals in the business environment is based on equality, justice and receiving the response, behavior and appreciation that they deserve. Education managers should be equidistant from each employee at this point. They should evaluate teachers not according to kinship, gender or their closeness to people, but according to the quality of the work done. If there is favoritism in the educational institution, it can be clearly seen that education managers exhibit nepotistic attitudes. Education administrators, even if they are in an unfair situation, have a nepotistic attitude when they protect and protect the people they feel close to. There are also relations of interest in educational institutions where there is nepotism. As is traditionally the case in many cultures, nepotistic behaviors are often observed in our culture. Because in our society, relationships come before merit. Education managers often exhibit nepotism behaviors in issues such as fair distribution of workload and performance evaluation. For this reason, according to the level of empathy of teachers, whether educational administrators are fair in their nepotistic attitudes and behaviors can be understood from the trust felt in educational administrators and their constructive, analytical approaches in the field of education. Educational administrators working in educational institutions should manage their affairs by taking into account the principles of fairness and openness. Thus, education managers will have drawn a picture away from nepotism by keeping an equal distance from their colleagues. As a result of nepotism practices, the human resource, which is the most important element of the organization, cannot be managed in the desired way and this situation negatively affects the performance, which is the organizational product of the educational institution. While the private sector is affected to a limited extent, this impact is felt more intensely in the public sector, which costs the entire society. It has been determined that due to the nepotistic attitude applied by education managers, the absenteeism rates of educational institution employees have increased, their desire to quit their jobs has increased, and as a result of these attitudes, a working area has been formed in which the trust institution Decays, where a distinction is formed between employees close to or far from management. The expression of nepotism appears as an important problem that causes inequality from a social point of view and deeply affects society. As a result of the loss of social balance, an environment of chaos occurs in society, but there may be consequences that reduce the trust of citizens in public institutions and organizations. Trust in other public institutions and organizations, especially educational institutions, is disappearing, the anxiety level of educational staff and public employees, hence their desire to quit their jobs, is getting stronger, and corporate interest and loyalty are weakening.
