Abstract:

The aim of this research is to study the relationship between teachers, managers’ ethical leadership behaviors, perceptions of their managerial abilities and emotional structures and abused control. The study’s work group consists of 360 teachers in 46 official primary schools, selected by random technique in Ankara in the 2014-2015 educational year. The data in the study were determined by the "Ethical Leadership Scale", the "Administrative Skills Scale", the "Positive and Negative Emotional Scale" and the "Madly Used Control Scale". In data analysis, the average, standard deviation, Pearson Moments Collapse Correlation Screening and Regression Analysis techniques were used. Research findings have shown that there is a negative relationship between teachers, managers’ perceptions of ethical leadership behaviors and managerial abilities and abused control. The badly used control and the negative emotions in teachers have been shown to have a positive relationship. There was no meaningful relationship between the positive emotions in teachers and the misuse of control. Regression analysis results also showed that ethical leadership behavior is more prominent than other variables in managers’ abuse of control. The findings have been discussed in terms of theoretical importance and practical practices.
