Abstract

The concept of cynicism and its theoretical foundations, the factors that reveal cynicism, the effects of cynicism, and the strategies that school administrators should implement against teachers who experience cynicism are discussed in this study. The study is a review. Cynicism is the insecure, dissatisfied negative feelings that individuals experience towards their job, organization and environment. It encompasses a pessimistic, cynical and indifferent attitude towards the organization. Among the organizational factors that cause employees in organizations to experience organizational cynicism, Political behaviors in organizations, perceptions of organizational injustice, and a sense of lacking support in the organization are the main ones. Among the effects of organizational cynicism, a decrease in organizational performance, an increase in absenteeism, burnout, reluctance to engage in proactive activities, reluctance, a lack of communication and respect with the environment, and decreased trust in the organization and management can be counted. There may also be teachers who experience cynicism in the school organization. It may be important for school administrators to identify teachers who experience cynicism and to use appropriate strategies for them in reducing cynicism. These strategies include creating a sense of belonging, acting ethically, and trying to increase organizational commitment.
