These studies have shown that, in some rare cases, some teachers use school property for their personal purposes.…”

Several recent studies have shown that some organization members may display purposeful destructive behaviors towards the organization or other members of it. Defined as counterproductive work behaviors (CPWB), these deviant behaviors are thought to be triggered by psychological contract (PC) breaches among others. However, there is a gap in the literature about the reflections of the relationships between these two variables in educational organizations. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between PC and CPWB according to the views of teachers working at Turkish public high schools. Participants were 452 teachers from 34 public high schools in the districts of Ankara. They were asked to respond to the 'Psychological Contract Scale' and 'Counterproductive Work Behaviors Scale'. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics as well as multivariate statistics such as Pearson correlation and canonical coefficient analyses. The results showed that Turkish public school teachers' PC perceptions were at a moderate level and CPWB sometimes occurred. Correlation analysis revealed low but significant relationships between the sub-dimensions of PC and CPWB. At the same time, the 'relational' and 'operational' sub dimensions of PC was observed to account for merely 2% of the variation in CPWB.

“…Employees' violating rules and regulations or speeding up or slowing down jobs to achieve tangible or intangible purposes is called corruption actions (Gül, 2006). Field surveys show that corruption in organizations is influenced by culture, national culture, attitudes towards work, egoist ethical climate, future orientation discrepancy, weak personal and social norms (Balcı et al, 2012;Gelbrich, Stedham & Gäthke, 2016;Gorsira et al 2018;Jahić & Činjarević, 2017).…”

“…to organizational culture can be reduced by creating a socially responsible and regular ethical climate in educational organizations. In fact, based on the findings of the research, Balcı et al (2012) suggested that the development of ethical codes in the organization, in other words, making rules clearer for the reduction of corruption in educational organizations would prevent corruption behavior.…”

Employees want to benefit from more sources of the organization to achieve their own goals in the direction of individual desires, which made them rivals in the sharing of income, responsibility, and promotion regarding the organization; thus, in organizations, political processes began to appear. Perceptions of what is considered ethically correct and how ethical issues are addressed within an organization constitutes the ethical climate of the organization. According to social psychology, behaviors of the individual are the function of the psychological environment perceived by the individual in which he or she is living or working. In that case, positively or negatively perceived organizational ethical climate has the possibility of reducing or increasing unethical behavior under the influence of organizational policy perception. In other words, corruption behavior, which means an employee's using public resources or power for his/her own interests, is likely to be affected both by organizational ethical climate and organizational policy perceptions. To examine these effects relational type path analysis used. The data were collected with "Organizational: Policy Perception, Ethical Climate, and Corruption" scales. Although the results of the research did not confirm the model established to determine the effect of ethical climate on teachers' corruption behavior under the intermediary influence of organizational policy; the ethical climate perceived as socially responsible and ruled are determined to have the effect of reducing the corruption behavior, while the attitude of superordinate and workmates of organizational policy perception have an increasing effect on the corruption behavior of teachers.
