Teacher Views on Increasing the Quality of Life in School

Abstract

This study aims to determine views of teachers on the quality of life in school and to develop recommendations on increasing the quality of life in school. Descriptive survey model from quantitative research methods was used in this research. The research sample consisted of 256 primary school teachers who have been working in Ankara. A 32-itemed questionnaire which was developed by authors was used as a data collection tool. As the total scores of the teachers’ views on increasing the quality of life in the school were normal distribution, t-test was used to compare the independent two-group averages, and one-way ANOVA was used to determine whether the mean of the two groups was the same. According to research results, there is no significant difference in the 95% confidence level according to sex, marital status, seniority of teachers, and working time of teachers in school in terms of increasing the quality of life in school. When managers and organizational staff first learn to manage their own feelings, they can more easily understand the feelings of other occupations and managers and can empathize and understand others’ feelings. Therefore, since there is a synergy in the organization, burnout and organizational conflicts can leave the place to peace and productivity in the organization.
