Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between organizational identification levels and proactive behavior levels of teachers working in kindergartens. In this study, the predictor correlative (relational) research model was used from the correlational research models to determine the relationship between organizational identification levels and proactive behavior levels of kindergarten teachers. The study group of the research was composed of a total of 218 kindergarten teachers working in 43 Independent Kindergartens in the provinces and districts of Kocaeli in the spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year. The research data were collected by the "Organizational Identification Scale" adapted to Turkish by Yetim (2010) developed by Van Dick (2004) and the "Proactive Behavior Scale" adapted to Turkish by Cerit & Akgün (2015) developed by Griffin and et all (2007). As a result of the research, the perceptions of the kindergarten teachers relevant to the organizational identification are "high" while their perceptions relevant to the levels of proactive behavior are "very high". It was no significant difference to teachers' perception of organizational identification and proactive behavior levels related to occupational seniority variable and age variable. This research showed that, according to the opinions of kindergarten teachers, there is a positive and moderate relationship between their levels of organizational identification and their proactive behavior. As a result of this research, it has been found that organizational identification is a significant predictor of proactive behaviors.
