Abstract:

In this study, the concepts of virtuous leadership, person-organization fit and job satisfaction have been examined and a field study has been conducted on teachers working in public schools by investigating the effects of these concepts on each other. The purpose of this study is to determine whether virtuous leadership perceived by a supervisor's subordinates has an effect on subordinates' person-organization fit and job satisfaction. In line with that aim, data was obtained from 145 teachers working at state schools in Şırnak province by random sampling method and using online survey. For that purpose, a questionnaire form consisting of 50 items was prepared, 8 of which were intended to obtain demographic characteristics and 42 were scale expressions. Virtuous leadership scale contains 18, job satisfaction scale 20, and person-organization fit scale contains 4 statements. The virtuous leadership scale consists of expressions translated into our language from Wang and Hackett's (2016) study. The job satisfaction scale is a short form of the questionnaire created by Weiss, Davis, and England (1967). The third scale consisting of expressions about the person-organization fit was adapted from the study of Netemeyer, Boles, McKee, and McMurrian (1997). The data obtained from the questionnaire forms were analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). Frequency analysis, ANOVA, t test, Pearson correlation and Regression analysis were applied to the data. According to the findings of the research, it was found that teachers' virtuous leadership perceptions positively predicted person-organization fit and job satisfaction.
