A research on examining the relationship between human energy and employee performance in educational institutions: The case of Gümüşhane province

This study aims to examine the relationship between human energy levels and performance among teachers working in educational institutions, and it has been conducted in accordance with quantitative research methods. Data were collected on a voluntary basis from 414 teachers who are actively working in educational institutions in the province of Gümüşhane, and the data were analyzed using the SPSS software package. All these data were subjected to factor and reliability analyses, and the hypotheses of the study were tested based on the results of these analyses. One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to identify whether there were significant differences between groups, and an independent samples t-test was applied for comparisons between two groups. According to the results of the study, a positive, significant, and strong relationship was found between human energy and performance. There is a significant relationship between the sub-dimensions of human energy and performance: while mental, spiritual, and physical energy are positively correlated with performance, emotional energy shows a negative correlation. These results indicate that the energy possessed by teachers has a strong impact on their performance.
