Özet:

This study discusses the effects of power resources used by managers in primary schools on organizational learning. In the framework of the study, data from 217 teachers working in the primary schools located in the Denizli province were obtained through the survey. To study the relationships between variables, ANOVA, t-test, correlation analysis and regression analysis were carried out. The analysis found that the size of the leading power sources has a significant impact on organizational learning from charismatic power (β=0.15, p<0.05), expertise power (β=0.34, p<0.01) and compulsory power (β=0.09, p<0.05). Nevertheless, when dealt with other power sources, it has been found that the rewarding power and legal power do not have the expected impact on organizational learning. Understanding that the expertise of the primary school managers derived from the experience and knowledge they have is an important kind of power they can use in the organizational learning process is the basic outcome of this study.
