Öğretmenler Arası İşbirliğinin Yenilikçi İş Davranışına Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of collaboration between teachers on innovative work behavior in schools. The research was conducted with a relational screening model. According to the results of the research; teachers' perceptions of school collaboration and innovative work behavior were above average. In the examination according to gender; teachers' school collaboration and innovative work behavior did not change according to women and men. In the examination according to marital status; teachers' school collaboration and innovative work behavior did not change according to married and single. In the examination according to age groups; teachers' school collaboration and innovative work behavior did not change according to age groups. In the examination according to service year groups; teachers' school collaboration and innovative work behavior did not change according to service year groups. Finally, there is a low-level, significant and positive relationship between teachers' perceptions of school collaboration and innovative work behavior. In addition, it is understood that teachers' perceptions of school collaboration significantly predict their perceptions of innovative work behavior in a positive way. In other words, a 100-unit increase in the participants' school collaboration dimension increases innovative work behavior by 32.5%.
