International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, v8 n3 p1833-1856 2021
The study was figured in the form of relational survey model on the purpose of putting forth the relationship between the tendency to gossip of the teachers at public secondary schools and their organizational commitment levels. It was conducted with randomly selected 159 volunteer teachers. The data were collected by the Tendency to Gossip scale developed by Nevo, Nevo and Derech-Zehavi (1994), and the Organizational Commitment Scale adapted to Turkish by Baysal and Paksoy (1999). The data were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. The results revealed that teachers mostly display achievement in tendency to gossip and affective commitment. It was found out that there was a significant difference according to teachers' age and seniority in tendency to gossip and seniority and teachers' numbers in organizational commitment. There was a low and medium relationship between tendency to gossip and organizational commitment, there was the highest relationship between physical appearance in tendency to gossip and continuance commitment in organizational commitment. "Physical appearance" and "sublimated gossip" dimensions had affected teachers' continuance commitment.
