Özet:

The behavior of individuals within the organization is influenced by organizational and individual factors. In this context, it is expected that the culture of the organization that individuals are within and the perceptions of power that the leaders possess will have an impact on individual behavior. In this context, the study has been examined by the organization’s culture and the influence of the power perceived within the organization on the decision-making style of educators from the point of view of educational institutions. For this purpose, data from 296 primary and secondary school teachers working in the region of Istanbul have been used. In the framework of the research design, the correlation analysis was used to see the relationship between the variables and the subdimensions, and the ability to determine the determination styles of the organizational culture and the organizational power dimensions was identified by the structural equality model. Finally, with the extract of meaningless effects, a model that shows indirect and direct effects on decision-making behavior has been revealed. When the findings were analyzed, the influence of mediation was seen in the relationship between the culture of the power and the decision-making behavior, where the decision-making style varied according to the culture that the workers perceived and the organization perceived. Recommendations are presented by discussing the relationship of variables that are effective in all kinds of decisions that teachers make.
