Özet:

This study aims to reveal the effects of the administrative approach of educational institutions, bureaucratic structure, and cultural values on the administrative processes. The correlational design, one of the quantitative research methods, was employed in the study. The participants of the study are 418 teachers who were selected through the stratified sampling technique. They were working at public schools in the Pamukkale and Merkezefendi districts of Denizli. The data of the study were collected through the following four scales: “Effectiveness of the Administrative Processes,” “Administrative Concepts,” “Effectiveness of School Structure," and “Individual Cultural Values.” The study's findings indicate that the administrative processes are highly correlated with the positivist administration approach and facilitating bureaucratic structure; it has a medium-level negative correlation with the obstructive bureaucratic structure and a low-level positive correlation with the chaotic administrative approach and avoidance from uncertainty. The multiple hierarchical regression analysis results indicate that the facilitating bureaucratic structure, positivist management approach, and long-term cultural values had a high effect on the administrative processes. The effectiveness of administrative processes can be realized through an administrative approach in which long-term planning, a facilitating bureaucratic structure, positivist and postmodern philosophy are intertwined. Other factors that may be effective in the administrative processes should be examined in future studies using different methods.
