- Abstract
Psychological features have a great role in shaping administrator behavior. For this reason, this survey was conducted to obtain outcomes about psychological features of education administrators at our university. In this study, types of administrator behaviors connected with their psychological scheme were investigated according to instructors' views. This quantitative research explored the administrator behaviors connected with their psychological scheme according to 4 faculty instructors across a variety of disciplines and with varying levels of experience at a public university in Turkey. Based on an analysis of administrators' psychological scheme, the article offers implications for the professional development of administrators. Research was conducted on the base of data collected from questionnaires. To evaluate the cognitive schemas, Young et al. (2003) developed the Schemas Questionnaire. Comments on the questionnaire form were divided into 5 sub-groups according to administration psychological schema. The collected study data were analyzed by using test and variance analysis (F test). In this evaluation, female instructors indicated that administrators showed significantly more obedient behavior, but male instructors indicated that administrators had less obedient behaviors. The results related to perfectionism, sacrificing, justifiability and approval were not significantly different in terms of gender. As a result, in terms of the obedience dimensions of psychological schemata, the instructors in social, engineering and education departments have meant that administrators had higher scores but the ones in medical department reported that they had fewer scores. In terms of all dimensions of psychological schemata, instructors' at the medical departments indicated that administrators had the lowest mean of the all obedient behaviors.
