Abstract:

The aim of this study is to identify the relationships between the management skills of the pre-school educational institutions and the influence forces of the directors based on the teacher's opinions. The universe of research is formed by teachers who work in the official and private pre-school educational institutions (Independent Kindergarten) located within the borders of the province of Pendik and Tuzla in the 2015-2016 educational year. The sample consists of 155 teachers identified through simple random samples from this general universe. The study used the "Management Skills Scale" developed by Quast and Hazucha (1992) with the "School Director's Teachers Impact Scale" developed by Sugar (2006) for the purpose of collecting data. In the study, the views of teachers on the management skills of the school directors are not different according to the variables of gender, civic status, age, age, educational status in total scale and in any sub-dimensional.  According to the teachers’ opinions, the management skills of the school managers vary by the time of teachers’ work at school, by the variables of the type of school, and by the variables of gender, age, and time of work at school. The level of influence of the teacher of the school manager varies significantly according to the educational status, age, education, and school types of teachers. The correlation analysis has shown that the scale of management skills has a negative relationship between the scale of impact and the scale of impact and the scale of impact and the scale of impact and the scale of impact. Managerial skills have found a meaningful relationship in a positive direction with the sub-dimensions of the scale of scale and the scale of impact with the competence and personality dimensions. As the competence of authority management increases, the use of authority and the use of personality powers also increases.
