Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the perceptions of organisational power distance and mushroom management of Physical Education Teachers according to their demographic characteristics. For this purpose, physical education teachers working in public and private schools in the province of Istanbul in the 2023-2024 academic year participated voluntarily. In the study, "personal information form", "Organisational Power Distance Scale" developed by Yorulmaz, Çolak, Altınkurt and Yılmaz (2018) and "Mushroom Management Scale" developed by Birincioğlu and Tekin (2018) were used. SPSS 25 package programme was used to analyse the data obtained. As a result of the normality test of the data obtained in the study, it was determined that the data showed normal distribution. Accordingly, the independent sample T-test and one-way ANOVA analysis were applied to the study. According to the findings of the study, it was determined that the mean organisational power distance scores of male teachers were higher than female teachers. As another result, in the inadequate communication subdimension of the mushroom management scale, the mean scores of teachers aged 30 and over were significantly higher than those of teachers aged 22-25. It was determined that teachers working in private schools had a high level of organisational power distance. It is thought that physical education teachers working in public schools can have more participation and voice through teachers' unions and other rights-seeking mechanisms, which leads them to perceive power distance lower.
