TEACHER PROFESSIONALISM IN THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC: A LITERATURE REVIEW

COVID-19 has caused a crisis of teacher professionalism degradation. It has surprised teachers at all levels and at the same time inspired them to seek solutions to problems they had never encountered before. Teachers and students are required to adapt to the new normal so that teachers transition in professional life from offline to online. This study aims to analyze the professionalism of teachers during the COVID-19 pandemic, in terms of pedagogical, personality, social, and professional competencies. The method used is a systematic literature review (SLR), identifying, evaluating, and interpreting all findings on a research topic to answer pre-determined research questions using the preferred reporting item for systematic review and meta-analytic (PRISMA). This research database uses Scholar, ERIC, and Mendeley. The results of the study show that teacher professionalism is decadent during the COVID-19 period. pedagogical competence becomes highly cognitive because of the weak transfer of values ​​online. personality competence has distorted the teacher's charisma because for almost two years the students have not met the teacher. Social competence of teachers fails to develop a sense of togetherness because of social and physical distancing. Besides that, the professionalism phase of teachers in Indonesia is in the collegial phase, pedagogic competence is considered more important than other competencies. In terms of personality competence, female teachers have a higher level of professional commitment than male teachers and the professional level of teachers with a master's degree education is significantly higher than the level of professional commitment of teachers with undergraduate education. Individual work professionalism is determined and monitored collectively. This means that the principal will be given decision-making authority over school policies and procedures and the support capacity of school leaders is needed. Pedagogy and professionalism during and after a pandemic will drive transformational change. Guidelines for professional behavior are needed to interpret what the professionalism of teachers looks like during the COVID-19 pandemic. In conclusion, the concept of teacher professionalism is no longer relevant in the COVID-19 era. For future research recommendations, it is necessary to develop guidelines for professional teacher behavior during the pandemic, both COVID-19 and other natural phenomena that cause pandemics.

Professional Commitment in Terms of Gender and Tenure of Vocational High School Teachers

TÜRKİYE’DE “HEMŞİRELİKTE KUŞAKLAR” KONUSUNDA 2014-2019 YILLARI ARASINDA YAYIMLANAN ULUSAL ÇALIŞMALARIN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ: SİSTEMATİK BİR İNCELEME

Bu araştırmada ulusal hemşirelik yazınındaki kuşaklar konusunu irdeleyen yayınların sistematik açıdan incelenerek, araştırma sonuçlarındaki benzerlik ve farklılıkların ortaya konması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmada Google Akademik sitesinde, “kuşaklar”, “X kuşağı”, “Y kuşağı”, “Z kuşağı” ve “hemşirelik” anahtar kelimeleri kullanılarak yapılan tarama sonucunda ulaşılan, Türkiye örnekleminde gerçekleştirilmiş olan ve 2014-2019 yılları arasında yayımlanan toplam 10 çalışma incelendi. Analiz sonucunda en fazla araştırmanın 2017 yılında (n:4) yayımlandığı ve çalışmaların çoğunlukla Ege bölgesinde (n:3), Sağlık Bakanlığı hastanelerinde (n:4) ve üniversitelerde (n:4), hemşire (n:5) örnekleminde gerçekleştiği bulundu. Çalışmalar tanımlayıcı (n:7) ya da kesitsel (n:3) tipteydi. Çalışmalarda araştırmacılar kuşaklara ilişkin soruları genellikle kendileri oluşturmuş (n:9) ve ek olarak “Örgütsel ve Mesleki Bağlılık Ölçekleri” (n:2) ile “Minnesota İş Doyumu Ölçeği” (n:2) kullanmışlardır. Araştırmalarda en sık hemşirelerin tutumları, iş doyumları, örgütsel ve mesleki bağlılık düzeyleri ile işten ve meslekten ayrılma niyetlerine ilişkin bulgular yer almaktadır. Araştırma sonucunda kuşaklar ve hemşireliğe ilişkin olarak özel hastanelerde çalışan hemşirelerin durumunu ortaya koyan çalışmaların olmadığı göze çarpmaktadır. Çalışmalarda hemşirelerin örgüte veya mesleğe bağlılıkları gibi konular çalışılmış olsa da irdelenmesi gereken daha pek çok konu vardır.

Solving intra-group conflicts by supporting employees’ identification and commitment

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to demonstrate how employee commitment and identification affect the intra-group conflicts and to demonstrate the moderator role of some dimensions of core self-evaluation (CSE) on the relationship between commitment and conflict. Exploring relationships can provide a better understanding of the nature of intra-group conflicts and the development of prevention and conflict management strategies.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses case studies to illustrate the factors that amplify and weaken conflicts. Case studies describe conflicts within a single multinational company.FindingsAccording to the results, the high levels of affective commitment and the degree of group identification reduce the relationship conflict, and the impact of affective commitment on the relationship conflict is moderated by the degree of self-esteem. The high levels of normative commitment and the degree of organizational identification reduce the process conflict, and the impact of normative commitment on process conflict is moderated by the degree of self-control. The high levels of professional commitment and the degree of occupational identification reduce the task conflict and that the impact of professional commitment on the task conflict is moderated by the degree of self-efficacy.Research limitations/implicationsThe results should also be confirmed by research using a quantitative method.Practical implicationsManagers need to increase employees’ commitment in a targeted way to increase their performance and to prevent conflicts. An important lesson for recruitment professionals is that in jobs where conflict prevention is particularly important, CSE levels that determine personality traits should also be tested.Originality/valueThe degree of commitment and identification also largely depends on organizational circumstances and the support of the manager. The factors brought into play by the employees, including the personality of the staff involved in the conflict, also play a role in conflicts. While these do not trigger it, some personality variables influence the outcome of conflicts. The study demonstrates that targeted enhancement of employee commitment and identification can address intra-group conflicts and that CSE is able to prevent certain types of intra-group conflicts through its moderating effect.

Intending to Quit and the Effect of Toxic Leadership

Bireyin tedbirini alarak kendi isteği ile çalıştığı kurumdan ayrılması veya böyle bir karara varması yorumunu getiren işten ayrılma niyetine sahip bir iş görenin bu niyeti çoğunlukla işten ayrılma ile sonuçlanmaktadır. Ancak örgüt için personelin işten ayrılması genellikle negatif bir durumdur. Çalışan devir hızı, yetenek kaybı, ek işe alım ve eğitim masrafları bakımından bir örgüt için gerçek bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Bir örgütte çalışanların çalışmaya başlamaları kadar işten ayrılmak istemeleri de doğal bir tutumdur. Bir çalışanın hayatının sonuna kadar aynı örgütte çalışması gibi bir zorunluluğu yoktur. Aynı örgüte uzun süreler çalışmak, çalışan ve örgüt bütünlüğü açısından gerekli olsa da bu gereklilik her zaman gerçekleştirilemeyebilir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada işten ayrılma niyetinin kapsamlı tanımı, bahsi geçen niyetin oluşma nedenleri, sonuçları, işten ayrılma niyetinin nasıl önlenebileceği ve toksik liderliğin işten ayrılma niyetine etkisine dair alan yazında inceleme yapılmıştır. Kurumlar için oldukça önemli olan bu konu hakkında yapılan çalışmanın hem gerçek hayata hem de alan yazında faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
