In this study, the relationships between the leadership styles of school principals, school culture, and organizational image are examined according to the teachers’ perceptions. The study is designed according to a relational survey model, and it consists of 370 teachers working in 20 schools in Selçuklu, Karatay, and Meram districts of Konya, Turkey. The leadership style scale of school principals (LSSSP), the scale for school culture (SSC), and the scale of the organizational image (SOI) were used as data collection tools. Pearson’s correlation, regression, and path analysis were used for analyzing data in addition to descriptive statistics. It was found that school principals manifest transformational leadership characteristics, the perception of school culture by the teachers is strong and the perception of the organizational image by the teachers is medium. It was also found that there are significant relationships between leadership styles, the school culture, and organizational image, along with the leadership style of school principals, which significantly predicted school culture, and school culture, which significantly predicted organizational image. School culture has a mediator effect on both leadership styles and the organizational image. This is due to the realization of the leadership styles that have an important role in developing an organizational image, through school culture. This research offers the presumptions that leadership manifested by the principal creates a positive effect on the members of the organization and contributes to the formation of strong school culture, in addition to leadership and school culture making a positive contribution to the organizational image of the educational institution.

Purpose: This empirical study aims to examine the causal models that predict disabled tourists' behavioral intentions to use peer-to-peer (p2p) accommodations. This study also explores the causal models through complex combinations of demographic factors, host attributes, and the levels of perceived charm, convenience, and other service features of the accommodations as a means of describing disabled tourists' behavioral outcomes.Design/methodology/approach: A questionnaire was administrated to measure the study variables. Using the convenience sampling technique, the questionnaires were distributed among disabled individuals with orthopedic disorders who reside in North Cyprus in May 2016.The five respondents were later interviewed about their needs and expectations from p2p accommodations. A set of preliminary tests (for both reliability and validity) were conducted, and descriptive statistics were used based on the scale items. Fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to test the proposed research model, which revealed sufficient and consistent conditions leading to behavioral intentions of disabled tourists in their use of p2p accommodations. The predictive validity of the model was then tested. 1 Finally, the results of the fsQCA were evaluated based on the key tenets of complexity theory. Findings:The findings reveal under which conditions disabled tourists tend to use p2p accommodations. This empirical study has relied upon the use of causal models integrating combinations of demographic variables and host and accommodation place attributes (i.e., charm, convenience, and service features) which were put forth as sufficient predictive configurations of the behavioral outcomes of disabled tourists within the context of a sharing economy. Ultimately, this study find that p2p customers are not limited to travelers with low income levels. Research limitations/implications: The views of people with orthopedic problems in NorthCyprus were obtained for testing the configurational model, which means that the results do not necessarily represent a large range of customers' perspectives. Although this limitation was addressed through the application of a powerful compensatory analytical approach (fsQCA), it is advised that data from tourists with various types of disabilities in other countries be collected for future studies. Practical implications:The results of this study provide practical implications for hosts on how to combine accommodation place characteristics (e.g., charm, convenience, and service) with their own personal attributes (e.g., knowledge and eagerness) to bolster the disabled tourists' intentions to use p2p accommodations. It is hoped that the results of the fsQCA using the demographic variables presented here will guide businesses toward performing target marketing. This is useful for hosts who wish to attract more disabled tourists, a profitable segment of the market. Social implications:This study draws social attention to the disabled tourists as potential customers in the ...

The basic objective of this study is to examine whether there is a relationship between spiritual leadership, school culture, and academic success. The data were collected by mixed method from teachers working in seven high schools and five achievement low level high schools in Şanlıurfa in 2018. The data obtained from the teachers were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. The conducted analyses revealed two important results. First, it can be claimed that as spiritual leadership perception of teachers increase, so does their school culture perception. The second result is the impact of both spiritual leadership and school culture on academic success. Therefore, the impact of spiritual leadership and school culture on two variables (high success, low success) has been examined separately. As the spiritual leadership and school culture perception of teachers increase, so does academic success.

In order for a smooth and problem-free transformation to take place in a digitalizing education system, efficient management is needed. Thus, educational managers need to improve their skills and develop behaviors suitable for taking education systems into the digital age. Social networks enable leaders to become digital citizens by embracing and implementing "Open Leadership". Acceptance of technology and self-efficacy in technological leadership are both seen as factors that can have positive or negative influences on the new leadership styles. This study aims to investigate the relationship between open leadership, digital citizenship, technology acceptance and self-efficacy in technological leadership. Working with a group of 153 education managers, the research was conducted using a relational screening model. Following multiple regression analyses, it was found that technology acceptance and self-efficacy in technological leadership positively influences digital citizenship at medium level and that self-efficacy in technological leadership and digital citizenship positively influences open leadership.

Sayısal çağda, teknoloji destekli öğrenme ortamları ile bilginin yeniden yapılandırılması zenginlik kazanabilir. Öğrenme sürecinin desteklenmesi için, öğrenenlerin, öğretmenlerin teknolojiyi ne kadar doğru ve verimli kullandığı önemli bir soru olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışma sayısal vatandaşlık çerçevesinde hayatımızda doğru teknoloji kullanabilmeye bağlı, öğrenen ve öğretmenlerin sayısal okuryazarlık yetisinin içselleştirilmesinde farkındalıklarını tespit etmeyi amaçlamıştır. Buna ek olarak, eylem temelli öğrenme sürecine bağlı olarak farkındalığı da geliştirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Bu nedenle, bu araştırma kuramsal çerçeve bakımından eylem teorisine dayandırılmıştır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma deseni kullanılmış ve durum çalışması yaklaşımıyla öğrenen ve öğretmenlerin dijital vatandaşlığa yönelik farkındalıkları eyleme dayalı öğrenme süreci ile geliştirilmiştir. Araştırmada yansıtıcı raporlar veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmış, yansıtıcı raporların analizi için tematik analize yer verilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, öğrenen ve öğretmenlerin sayısal vatandaşlığa yönelik farkındalıklarının araştırma süreci ile geliştiğini fakat, küresel insan yetiştirmede sayısal okuryazarlık ve vatandaşlığın eğitim programları ve ders planlarına eklenerek bu anlayışın tüm eğitim kademelerinin geleceği için düşünülmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymuştur. Bu araştırma, sayısal okuryazarlığın ve vatandaşlığın içselleştirilmesi ile küresel insan olabilmeye hazır bulunuşluluk noktasına da ışık tutmuştur. Buna ek olarak, sayısal okuryazarlık becerisinin geliştirilmesi okulöncesi dönemden itibaren düşünülmelidir.
