Abstract:

Individuals come to the world in an organized structure and develop work habits together in order to continue their lives. Individuals spend much of their lives in the organization by creating organizations that are systematic in order to a common purpose. Organizations that see the function of socialization of the individual within the social structure and the transfer of culture to the future generations are educational organizations. The most important staff of the educational organizations are teachers. This study aims to reveal whether teachers’ organizational alienation perceptions and organizational alienation perceptions show significant differences according to socio-demographic variables. For the purpose of determining the study’s work group, a mass sampling scheme was used from possible sampling methods. 831 teachers who worked in Mersin or the central districts formed the sample of the research.
