Özet:

The purpose of this research is to determine whether psychological capitals that the school administrators have significantly predict the administrator anxiety levels. Descriptive survey design was used in the research. The data of the research were obtained from 345 school administrators (78.6% male, 21.4% female) who were administrators in the schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Istanbul in 2016 and were selected by simple random sampling method. 71% (245 people) of the administrators who participated in the research were school principals, and 29% (100 people) of them were vice principals. In the research, administrators’ anxiety levels and the psychological capital levels of school administrators were measured by “administrator anxiety scale” and “organizational psychological capital scale,” respectively. Pearson correlation technique and multiple linear regression analysis were used to analyze the collected data. The results of the research showed that there was a negative significant relationship between the administrators’ anxiety levels of school administrators and their optimism, hope, psychological endurance, and self-efficacy, which are the sub-dimensions of the psychological capital scale. According to the findings obtained as a result of the predictive analyses, the psychological endurance, optimism, and self-efficacy, which are the sub-dimensions of the psychological capital scale, were found to be the most important predictors of school administrators’ administrative anxieties. The results obtained from the research were discussed within the scope of the relevant literature, and proposals were made for future researches.
