Abstract:

Leaders who influence their personal characteristics and skills and followers and direct them within the goals they have set, in general, have come to the forefront with these positive aspects and have been the subject of research. But in recent periods, some corporate enterprises have experienced performance decrease due to management understanding, which has made it necessary to study the different aspects of the leadership concept. The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of the dark aspects expressed as the negative behaviors of leaders on employees’ voice situations within the organization and on work satisfaction.  By using the simple random method, data from 540 teachers working in the first and secondary educational institutions connected to the Kağızman District National Education Directorate were obtained with the survey technique. The data is analyzed with the SPSS program. The results of the analysis show that dark leadership behavior has a low, meaningful and negative impact on organizational voice and business satisfaction.
