Abstract

This study, which aims to examine the perceptions of teachers working in primary and secondary schools regarding organizational anomaly, was designed with a phenomenology study from qualitative research designs. The working group of the research consists of 16 teachers working in state schools in the central districts of Erzurum in 2020-2021. The data obtained with the measurement tool consisting of semi-structured open-ended questions prepared by the researchers were analyzed by content analysis method. According to the findings obtained in the study, the main causes of anomie experienced by teachers are corruption in working life, loss of values, lack of certain rules and norms, distrust of administrators, unwillingness, impossibility, dissatisfaction, inefficiency and loss of belonging. It has been concluded that it has consequences such as lack of discipline, self-interest and negligence, and that the teachers generally have uncertain and anxious thoughts about the personal and social future. In order to reduce anomaly in schools, a value-oriented human resources management based on the spirit of teachers and a transition to a merit and justice-based appointment system in manager appointments are the basic proposals.
