Abstract:

This study aims to reveal the impact of psychological strengthening of teachers working in educational faculty on organizational silence behaviors. The research is carried out in the screening model. The study universe of research is formed by teachers who work at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Adnan Menderes University and Pamukkale University Education Faculty in the 2017-2018 educational year. The sampling of the study consists of 147 faculty members selected according to the unproportionate group sampling technique. The study used the psychological strengthening scale and the organizational silence scale as a data collection tool. The rise of the scores obtained from the scale of psychological strengthening shows that both the scale dimensions and the total score teachers are strengthened by the organization in a psycho-positive direction. The high score taken from each factor from the organizational silence scale indicates an increase in organizational silence. In the analysis of data, visual statistics, t-test, ANOVA and multiple regression analysis have been used. According to the research results, the psychological strengthening of the faculty teachers is above the middle level. Teachers have obtained the lowest score in the receptive silence from the dimensions of organizational silence. As they followed this silence for defense purposes, they gained the highest score in the lower dimension of silence for the benefit of the institution. The receptor of psychological strengthening describes 22% of silence. The subdimensions of the meaning and effect of psychological strengthening are the meaningful contributors to the negative direction of the acceptable silence. Psychological strengthening describes 16% of silence for defense purposes. The only sub-dimensional autonomy of psychological strengthening is a meaningful promoter in the negative direction of silence for defence. Finally, psychological strengthening explains 7% of silence to the benefit of the institution. The skill size of psychological strengthening is a meaningful contributor to the positive direction of silence for the benefit of the institution.
