Öz: Öğretmenlerin kendini sabote etme düzeyleri ile algıladıkları örgütsel destek düzeyi arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemek amacıyla yapılan çalışmada, nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklemini Denizli'de görev yapan 218 öğretmen oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada Jones ve Rhodewalt (1982) tarafından geliştirilen, Akın-Abacı ve Akın (2010) tarafından Türkçe'ye uyarlanan "Kendini Sabotaj Ölçeği" ile Derinbay (2011) tarafından geliştirilen "Algılanan Örgütsel Destek Ölçeği" kullanılmıştır.
