Abstract
This study aims to determine the variables that predict teachers' organizational happiness levels. The study is quantitative in the predictive correlational type, which is one of the general screening models. The data of the study were analysed with ordinal logistic regression. The sample group of the study consists of 605 teachers working in pre-school, primary, secondary and high schools in Çankaya district of Ankara province with the stratified sampling method. 'Organizational Happiness Scale' and 'Empowering Leadership Scale' were used as assessment tools in the study. The organizational happiness level of teachers, which is the dependent variable of the study, was defined as a three-category variable in the form of low, medium and high with the K-means clustering algorithm. In the study, it was determined that only marital status, socio-economic level of the school and empowering leadership behaviours predicted teachers' organizational happiness levels significantly. The order of importance regarding the predictive level of the predictor variables, from the largest to the smallest, is the school with a high socio-economic level, the school with a medium level of empowering leadership behaviours, marital status and socio-economic level. Based on the results obtained, various suggestions have been made in the research to improve the socio-economic environment of schools as educational organizations and to support the behaviour of school administrators to empower teachers.
