Questionnaire surveys were completed by 92 teachers from both respective schools. The findings of this research show that all of Kelley’s Followership Styles (exemplary, alienated, pragmatist, conformist and passive) were represented in the followership styles of primary and secondary school teachers at AIS. The most common followership style is the exemplary style which was practiced by 39 (42.3%) of the teachers. Furthermore, the findings show that there was a significant difference in followership styles between the male primary and secondary school teachers of AIS. However, there was no significant difference in followership styles between the female primary and secondary school teachers of AIS. In general, there was no significant difference of followership styles between both schools. Based on the findings of this study, it is recommended that the exemplary followership style be adopted, since it is especially suited to helping followers achieve exemplary levels that can help promote higher standards of organizational performance.

The concept of servant leadership, which was initiated by Greenleaf, has been developed by other people and reached to today. The concept of servant leadership, which emphasizes the mentality of service, seems to be applicable in educational organizations. In this study, it was examined whether the school administrators had the servant leadership behaviors and the teacher opinions had significant differences in terms of some variables according to the opinions of the teachers. The population of the study consists from primary and secondary school teachers in Sinop province center. There are 426 teachers in the research universe. Of these, 302 teachers participated in the survey by random sampling. In this research, likert type instrument which was developed by Van Dierendonck and Nuijten (2011) and consisted of 26 sub-items and 7 dimensions, which was translated and adapted by Duyan (2012), was used. According to research findings; Teachers view supervisor's servant leadership behaviors partially adequate in some dimensions (accountability and responsible management), while the majority of sub-dimensions (empowerment, restraint, forgiveness, courage and humility) were viewed as insufficient.  According to the results of the research, teachers view school administrators as a responsible and accountable manager rather than a servant leader. These results alsoare compatible with some previous research results conducted in Turkey. Based on the results of the research, Based on the results of the study, It is recommended that the school administrators organize educational activities in order to gain servant leadership behaviors. ÖzetGreenleaf tarafından ortaya atılan hizmetkâr liderlik kavramı, başka kişiler tarafından da geliştirilerek günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Hizmet etme anlayışını öne çıkaran hizmetkâr liderlik kavramı, eğitim örgütleri içinde uygun düşmektedir. Bu çalışmada öğretmen görüşlerine göre, okul yöneticilerinin hangi düzeyde hizmetkâr liderlik davranışlarına sahip olduğu ve öğretmen görüşlerinin bazı değişkenler açısından farklılık gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın evreni, Sinop il merkezinde görev yapan öğretmenlerdir. Araştırma evreninde 426 öğretmen bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan tesadüfi örnekleme yoluyla seçilen 302 öğretmen araştırmaya katılmışlardır. Araştırmada, Van Dierendonck ve Nuijten (2011)  tarafından geliştirilen ve Duyan (2012) tarafından Türkçeye uyarlanan, 26 madde ve 7 alt boyuttan oluşan likert türü ölçme aracı kullanılmıştır. Araştırma bulgularına göre, öğretmenler yöneticilerinin hizmetkâr liderlik davranışlarını “güçlendirme, geri durma, affetme, cesaretlendirme ve tevazu” alt boyutlarda yeterli düzeyde görmezken;  “hesap verebilirlik ve sorumlu yöneticilik” alt boyutlarında kısmen yeterli görmüşlerdir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre; öğretmenler, okul yöneticilerini hesap verebilirlik ve sorumlu yöneticilik boyutlarında yeterli görmüşlerdir. Diğer boyutlarda kısmen yeterli görmektedirler. Bu sonuçlar, Türkiye’de yapılmış bazı araştırma sonuçlarıyla da örtüşmektedir.  Araştırmanın sonuçlarına dayalı olarak, okul yöneticilerinin hizmetkâr liderlik davranışlarını kazanmaları yönünde eğitim etkinlikleri düzenlemesi önerilmektedir.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the levels of stress and work motivation of primary and secondary school teachers, investigate factors affecting stress of teachers and validate the consistency of the model and empirical data. Design/methodology/approach The sample consisted of 400 teachers of primary and secondary schools. Questionnaire was implemented as the instrument and the data were analyzed by t-test, ANOVA and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings The results indicated that teachers of secondary schools have higher overall stress than teachers of primary schools for many reasons, such as financial issues and work obligations. Stress was found to be significantly positively associated with work motivation in secondary school teachers. The study revealed that demographic and work motivation factors influence teacher stress. The validation of a goodness of fitted model demonstrated an acceptable model fit with empirical data (χ2 test/df = 1.913, GFI = 0.934, CFI = 0.965, NFI = 0.930, AGFI = 0.893). Originality/value Teachers under stress could negatively influence their students’ academic performance and might be more vulnerable to occupational diseases. Therefore, the teachers should find favorite activities that reduce stress and thereby contribute to effective teaching. This study would be beneficial for anyone who works to support teachers and wants to reduce turnover among teachers.

The study examines the comparative investigation of job motivation, perceived job stress and job satisfaction on teacher's efficacy among public and private secondary school teachers in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive design of correlational type. A Sample of two hundred hundred fifty public and private secondary school teachers were selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Four scales were used to collect information. Eight research questions were raised and answered in the study. Data collected were analyzed using T-test and Multiple regression analysis. Results indicated that there was a significant difference in the teaching efficacy of public and private secondary school teachers; t (248) = -3.206, p < .05, there was also a significant difference in the job motivation of public and private secondary school teachers; t (248) = -2.159, p < .05, a significant difference also was observed in the perceived stress of public and private secondary school teachers; t (248) = -3.648, p < .05 and a significant difference in the job satisfaction of public and private secondary school teachers was also observed; t (248) = -2.742, p > .05. The Regression analysis revealed that there was a joint effect of the independent variables (job motivation, perceived stress and job satisfaction) on public school teachers' efficacy (R = .598, P < .05). 34.3% of the variance was accounted for by the predictor variables when taken together. The significance of the composite contribution was tested at (P < .05). Furthermore, there was also a joint effect of the independent variables (job motivation, perceived stress and job satisfaction) on private school teachers' efficacy (R = .641, P < .05). 39.4% of the variance was accounted for by the predictor variables when taken together. The significance of the composite contribution was tested at (P < .05). It is recommended from the findings of the study that the welfare of teachers who are the engine room of secondary education is very critical to their efficacy most notably in the private secondary school section.
