Özet:

Organizational commitment is an expression of the connection that the employee feels to the organization in which he works. The practice of mentoring roles of the Maarif inspectors is also one of the variables affecting the organizational commitment. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between the organizational commitments of the managers in primary and secondary schools and the mentoring roles of the maarif inspectors in the audit processes. The sample of the study consists of 491 primary and secondary school directors and assistant directors who work in the province and districts of Gaziantep in the 2015-2016 educational year. The data related to organizational commitment was collected through the "Three-Dimensional Organizational commitment Scale" adapted to Turkey by Meyer, Allen and Smith, developed by Bulşunoğlu, Bakay and Godöğen (2010) The data related to the mentoring roles have been collected using the "educational scale" adapted to the Turkish by Sezgin (2002), developed by Galbraith and Cohen (1997) under the name "Principles of Adult Mentoring Scale". The data in the study; SPSS 22.00 package program was analyzed with visual statistical processes such as frequency, percentage, arithmetic average, standard deviation and correlation. The study found that there was a low-level positive relationship between mentoring role behaviors and managers’ emotional and normative commitments. As the level of mentoring role of the Maarif inspectors increases, the emotional and normative commitment of the managers also increases. It has been revealed that the extent of continuous commitment and mentoring are a relationship in a low-level positive direction between the "Role Dimension of Supporting the Vision of the Adult". As the role size levels increase to support the vision of the adult of the Maarif inspectors, the continued commitments of the managers also increase.
