Journal Title: The Journal of International Social Research - Year 2017, Vol 10, Issue 50
Abstract
The information era we live in has brought about significant changes in leadership approaches. These changes have led to a new model of leadership, called "servant leadership," which guides its members, acts with them and serves as a philosophy of life instead of a leadership mentality that is served and pursues its own interests. Servant leadership, now the main dynamics of leadership research, is the most important of different leadership approaches, and a modern leadership approach which has become the subject of research in an increasing number of social sciences in recent years. This research was conducted to evaluate the teachers' perceptions of the servant leadership behaviors of school principals (primary school - secondary school - high school). Survey research design was used in this quantitative study. The research was carried out by consulting the opinions of 365 teachers in the province of Mardin. "School Leaders' Servant Leadership Behavior Scale" developed by Ekinci (2015) was used in the study. Descriptive statistics, Independent Sampling t-test and ANOVA tests were used in the analysis of the data. In the research findings, there was a significant difference in the perceptions of teachers about the servant leadership behavioral dimensions according to the variables of gender, seniority and school type, but there was no significant difference in the age variable.
