Power Types Used by School Principals;A Scale Development Study Based on Etzioni's Organizational Compliance Model

Power is one of the most influential yet often least visible dimensions of school leadership. The decisions made by School Principals, their leadership practices, and their interactions with teachers directly shape the organizational structure and educational climate of schools. Drawing upon Amitai Etzioni's Organizational Compliance Model, this book provides a comprehensive examination of the Coercive, Calculative, and Value-Based Power used by School Principals and explores the implications of these Power Types within educational organizations from a scientific perspective. In addition to its theoretical framework, the book presents the original Scale of Power Types Used by School Principals, which has been rigorously developed and validated through comprehensive validity and reliability analyses. Serving as a valuable reference for researchers, graduate students, educational administrators, and policymakers, this book aims to make both theoretical and practical contributions to the fields of educational administration, organizational behavior, school leadership, and educational research.
