Abstract

In this study, the perceived level of organizational uncertainty of teachers working in public and private schools has been attempted to be determined. In this study, the quantitative research method of the descriptive survey model has been used. The data collection tools used in this research were the ‘Organizational Uncertainty Level Determination Scale’ and the ‘Personal Information Form.’ The population of the study consists of 5895 teachers working in the Onikişubat district center of Kahramanmaraş province. A total of 370 teachers were determined using stratified sampling method. The data was analyzed using appropriate analysis software. Outliers were examined in data analysis, and the validity and reliability analysis of the scale were performed. Skewness coefficient was examined to check the normality of the distribution, and Levene’s Homogeneity Test was conducted to determine whether the distribution was homogenous. For descriptive analysis, percentages, frequencies, and means were calculated. Appropriate statistical tests such as t-test, ANOVA, and Mann-Whitney U test were used for group comparisons, and the findings were interpreted. The research revealed a significant difference in the perception of the sub-dimension of individual negatives regarding the organizational uncertainty level among teachers based on gender, with females having a higher perception. Additionally, a significant difference was found in the perception of administrative negatives among teachers based on the type of school, with public schools showing a higher perception.
