Özet:

The aim of this study is to reveal the perception levels of teachers working in official primary and secondary schools regarding the innovation management competencies of their administrators and to determine whether these perception levels differ significantly according to some variables. In this survey model, data were obtained from a total of 582 teachers working in official primary and secondary schools in Yenişehir, Sur, Bağlar and Kayapınar central districts of Diyarbakır. The opinions of the teachers participating in the research on “Perception of Innovation Management Competence” and all its sub-dimensions correspond to the level of “Moderate Agree”. There is no significant difference between the opinions of the teachers in the total and sub-dimensions of the "Innovation Management Competence Scale" regarding the innovation management competencies of their managers, according to the variables of branch, age and number of students. It has been determined that teachers with 8-11 years of seniority in the dimension of "Innovation Strategy" have a more innovative perception than teachers with 4-7 years of seniority. In the dimension of "Organizational Culture and Structure", it was determined that teachers with a seniority of 8-11 years have a more innovative perception than teachers with a seniority of 0-3 years and 4-7 years. In addition, it has been determined that teachers in schools where the number of teachers in their schools are high have more negative views on the dimension of input management in terms of the competence of their administrators to manage innovation.
