“…Teachers' perceptions in the dimension of individual empowerment were higher when compared to their perceptions in relational empowerment. This finding concurs with many studies to be found in the literature (e.g., Altınkurt et al, 2016;Çekmecelioğlu & Eren, 2007;İlisu, 2012;Karadal & Kılıç, 2008). Individual empowerment refers to individual's self-confidence, whereas relational empowerment refers to the distribution of power by administrators (Odabaş, 2014).…”

“…Teachers' general structural empowerment was found to be above the medium level. This result is consistent with other studies in the literature which used different data collection tools to assess structural empowerment (Altınkurt, Türkkaş-Anasız, & Ekinci, 2016;Odabaş, 2014). For teachers to feel themselves structurally empowered, working in a supportive, facilitative environment and participating in decision-making processes are crucial.…”

“…Regarding these three dimensions, elementary school teachers had higher structural empowerment perceptions than lower secondary and upper secondary school teachers. Altınkurt et al (2016) achieved similar results in their study using a different scale, with differences found in favor of elementary school teachers in knowledge and opportunity, solidarity climate, and work conditions dimensions of structural empowerment. The reason for elementary school teachers having higher structural empowerment perceptions might stem from a more collaborative culture and intimate climate in these schools.…”

“…Teachers' psychological empowerment differed in terms of gender in the study of Odabaş (2014). In the study of Altınkurt et al (2016), there were differences seen in favor of female teachers. It is therefore thought that in-depth qualitative studies should be conducted in order to find out the reason behind these differences in findings.…”
