Abstract

This study aimed to find out the relationship between ethical climate of schools and teachers’ job satisfactıon. The population of this descriptive study consisted of the public school teachers employed at primary, secondary, and high schools in 2018-2019 educational year. Each Public school teacher employed at primary, secondary, and high schools was considered as a subpopulation and the samples were designated for each group. The Sample of the study consisted of 298 primary school teachers, 322 elementary school teachers and 357 high school teachers. Ethical Climate scale, which was originally developed by Victor and Cullen (1993) and was adapted to Turkish by Eser (2007) and the Minnessota Satisfaction Scale, which was originally developed by Weiss, Davis, England and Lofquist (1967) and was adapted to Turkish by Baycan (1985), were used as data collection tools. According to the results of this study, schools’ instrumental, caring, indepence, rules, and laws and codes of ethical climate are at moderate levels. Besides teachers’ inner satisfactions and external satisfactions are at high levels. The results show that teachers’ inner satisfactions and external satisfactions predict the ethical climates of schools. According to the results of the study, some suggestions were made about the ethical climate of schools and teachers’ job satisfactions.
