Abstract:

The primary goal of this study is to determine the influence of the instructional leadership behaviors of primary school administrators on collective competencies and organizational learning. The data are collected using three scales: Instructional Leadership scale developed by Demiral (2009), Collective Competency scale which is the adaptation of the scale developed by Kurt (2009) and the Organizational Learning scale. The sample consists of 510 teachers who reside in Batman. The data analysis is completed by providing average scores, frequency and percentile distribution tables and by conducting independent samples t-test, one way ANOVA, correlation analysis and multiple regression. The results of the study show that school influenced collective competency and organizational learning while gender itself didn’t discriminate the ratings of collective competency, organizational learning, instructional leadership behavior of school administrators as perceived by teachers. Correlation analysis has shown that there is a positive correlation between instructional leadership behaviors. Apart from that, multiple regression analyses have indicated that instructional leadership behaviors of primary school administrators predict the collective competence and organizational learning as perceived by teachers. Recommendations have been made for the policy makers and practitioners. Keywords: leadership, instructional leadership, collective competency, organizational learning
