This study investigated the heterogeneous nature of teachers’ perceptions of distinct leadership practices and explored the predictors of teacher- and school-level leadership typologies on teacher self-efficacy and commitment by using a multilevel latent profile mediation analysis of a dataset of 890 teachers from K-12 schools in Turkey. The results revealed three distinct leadership profiles ( limiting, transitioning, and integrating) at the teacher level and two profiles ( transitioned and integrated) at the school level, providing evidence that integrating teachers and integrated school profiles were associated with greater teacher self-efficacy and commitment. Additionally, both levels of integrated leadership profiles were indirectly related to teacher commitment through teacher self-efficacy vis-a-vis other profile groups. The study concluded that different leadership styles are related and that the impact of leadership on teachers is maximized when multiple leadership types are integrated.

Failure to exercise self-control is one of the leading causes of substance and behavioral addictions. Problematic social media usage (PSMU), a type of behavioral addiction, has become an increasingly serious problem with a significant impact on the lives of individuals of all generations. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the underlying mechanism of PSMU to effectively address the issue. This study performed a meta-analysis, which systematically synthesized existing research in the field, to establish the current empirical state of the relationship between self-control and PSMU. The study included 57 independent samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria (N = 29.576). The analysis results indicated a moderate negative association between self-control and PSMU (r = -.29). Furthermore, the moderator analysis outcomes suggested that the association between self-control and PSMU did not differ significantly based on variables such as developmental period, educational stage, geographic region, and publication status. The study’s findings are expected to inspire future investigations and therapeutic approaches.

The relationship between teacher professional learning and school leadership has recently attracted great attention from scientists. However, only a few studies have focused on the relationship between innovative school leadership and teacher professional learning. Therefore, this study aimed to draw attention to the mediating role of the principal–teacher relationship in the relationship between innovative school leadership and teacher professional learning. The study used a quantitative method with a correlational, cross-sectional, and mediation design. Data obtained from 357 teachers working in high schools in Eskişehir, Türkiye, were examined with a mediation analysis based on the bootstrap method. The findings showed that teachers perceived their professional learning highly, school administrators perceived innovative school leadership characteristics highly, and principal–teacher relationships had a significant effect. In addition, moderate positive significant relationships were determined between innovative school leadership and teacher professional learning and principal–teacher relationships; low positive significant relationships were determined between teacher professional learning and principal–teacher relationships. It was determined that the principal–teacher relationship mediated innovative school leadership and teacher professional learning. Our results expand the field’s understanding that innovative leadership is practiced in Türkiye, an eastern society, and that school leadership has the potential to improve student outcomes indirectly through teacher professional learning.

The aim of the study is to determine the level of relationship between school climate and happiness according to student perceptions. This research is in the descriptive relational survey model. The sample of the study consists of a total of 539 students studying in public primary schools in the districts located in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey, in the 2021–2022 academic year. In the study, two different scales were used to determine the relationship between school climate and happiness according to student perceptions. In the study, it was concluded that students’ perceptions of school climate and school happiness were high. In addition, as a result of the relationship analysis between school climate and school happiness, it has been found that as the level of school climate increases, the level of school happiness also increases. Academic, social and artistic activities can be enriched in order to create a high school happiness that can occur with a positive school climate. The results of the research indicated that school climate predicted and affected school happiness.

Bu çalışmanın amacı eğitim bilimleri alanında bilimsel dergilerde yayımlanan otantik liderlik konulu araştırmaların içerik analizini yaparak eğilimlerini belirlemektir. Bu araştırma betimsel içerik analizi yönteminde desenlenen sistematik derleme çalışmasıdır. Bu çalışmada; “Web of Science” veri tabanında, 2014-2020 yılları arasında taranan makaleler farklı değişkenler açısından analiz edilip açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada “Web of Science” veri tabanında hedeflenen evrene ulaşılmış ve tam sayım örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, elde edilen verilerin değerlendirilmesinde betimsel içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğunda nicel araştırma kullanılmışken, diğer çalışmalarda sırasıyla nitel araştırma, derleme araştırma ve karma yöntem kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Makaleler, kullanılan yöntemler açısından değerlendirildiğinde; nicel araştırmalarda en fazla korelasyonel modelinin kullanıldığı, betimsel ve tarama çalışmaların ise bu yöntemden sonra sıklıkla seçilen yöntemler olduğu söylenebilir. Ayrıca yayımlanan makalelerde daha çok öğretmenlerden örneklem seçildiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuç göz önüne alındığında, yapılacak diğer çalışmalarda otantik liderliğe ilişkin özellikle yöneticilerin örneklem grubu olarak seçilmesi; alanyazın ve yayımların niteliğine katkı sağlayabilir, ayrıca politika geliştiricileri, uygulama alanları ve sonraki çalışmalar açısından önemli bir veri kaynağı olabilir.
