Özet

The purpose of this study is to determine the predictive role of happiness and a teachers’ level of satisfaction with life, on their classroom management profiles. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire Short Form, the Satisfaction with Life Scale, and the Classroom Management Profile Inventory have been administered to 384 teachers employed in state-run secondary education institutes in the districts of Ankara city. According to t-test results, there was a significant difference between the satisfaction with life and authoritarian classroom management profile, with respect to gender. One-way variance analysis (ANOVA) results exhibited that with respect to seniority no difference was detectable between happiness and a teachers’ level of satisfaction with life and their classroom management profiles. Findings from a correlation analysis put forth a positive relationship between happiness and a satisfaction with life, and an appreciative classroom management profile, whereas a negative relationship was detected in relation to an indifferent classroom management profile. Findings from multiple regression analysis indicated that happiness and satisfaction with life are significant predictors of appreciative and indifferent classroom management profiles. At the end of this research some suggestions have been offered to elevate the happiness and satisfaction of teachers in general. © 2018 by authors, all rights reserved.
