Review of the school managers between the textical leadership behavior and the vocational consultancy levels of sports teachers

This research was conducted to examine the relationships between toxic leadership behaviors of school administrators and the occupational burnout levels of physical education and sports teachers. In this context, a consistent relational screening model was used for the purpose of the quantitatively conducted study. The research group consisted of 89 women and 167 men, with a total of 256 physical education and sports teachers. In the selection of this research group, easy sampling method was used. A survey form was used as a data collection tool and this form consists of three parts. The first part of this survey form is "Personal Information Form", the second part is "Toxic Leadership Scale" and the third part is "Maslach Burnout Inventory-Learner Form". The raw data obtained through this form was first calculated with identifying statistics being taken into account by the data type. Differences and correlations analysis of the data obtained in the research were performed. Accordingly, significant differences were found in the context of the participants' perception of toxic leadership according to the variables of the state of active sports and perceived monthly personal income level. However, according to the gender, marital status, educational status, school level, administrative duty history, school location and perceived monthly family income level variables, no significant difference was identified in toxic leadership perceptions. However, a significant relationship was found between the family income level variable of the participants and their perception of toxic leadership. On the other hand, no significant relationship was identified between the age, personal income level and work year variables and toxic leadership perceptions of the participants. In addition, in the context of burnout of the participants, significant differences were found according to marital status and school location variables. However, the gender of the participants, education status, school level, administrative duty history, active sports status, etc, no significant differences in burnout were identified based on perceived monthly personal income level and perceived monthly family income level variables. However, significant associations were found between the age, family income level and the study year variables and burnout of the participants. On the other hand, no significant relationship was identified between the personal income level variable and burnout of the participants. As a result, it was found that there were positive and meaningful relationships between the participants' perceptions of toxic leadership and their professional burnout. In this respect, it can be argued that as the toxic leadership perceptions of the participants increase, their professional burnout increases.
