Abstract
<p style="text-align:justify">The purpose of this research is to test the theoretical model developed for the mediator role of perceived organizational support in the relationship between organizational identity and organizational stress. The research is conducted with 320 teachers who work in preschools, primary schools, elementary schools, and high schools. The data were collected using organizational stress scale, perceived organizational support scale, organizational identity scale, and personal information form. The direct and indirect relationships between perceived organizational support, organizational stress, and level of organizational identity were analysed using the Structural Equation Model. The proposed structural model was verified by the analyses. It is observed that the relationships between all variables in the research have significant values and their goodness of fit indices were within the acceptable level. The results of the analyses showed that, organizational identity significantly predicts organizational stress and perceived organizational support. It was also found that the impact of organizational identity on organizational stress was fully mediated by perceived organizational support. According to these results, organizational support plays a mediating role in the relationship between organizational identity and organizational stress.</p>

Summary
When environmental factors are considered, the changes occurring in the community and work life can lead to stress and other related problems (Balaban, 2000). In order to meet the organizational changes, it is necessary to upgrade employee skills and competencies in accordance with these technological developments, so they would be able to adapt into the new working environment (Tore, 2018a). Stress is the organism’s reaction to maintain self-defense and act according to it (Baltas & Baltas, 1990). It is said that stress is not a problem which recently came up, but one that is on the rising trend since the 2000s and it should be addressed immediately. While there is not a certain link between stress and illness, it is generally accepted that they are related (Cranwell-Ward & Abbey, 2005)
