Özet

The purpose of this research is to test a theoretical model to explain structural relationships between perceived organisational support, organisational justice, organisational cynicism, organisational commitment and job satisfaction. The study sample consists of 353 teachers employed in 18 different Turkish public high schools selected through stratified sampling method considering socioeconomic regions of the schools. Correlation for data analysis, confirmatory factor analysis for structural validity of scales and path analysis for testing the constructural model were utilised in the research. As a result of validated model, it was concluded that teachers' organisational support and organisational justice perceptions affect their organisational cynicism perceptions in negative way. Teachers' organisational cynicism perceptions affect their organisational commitment and job satisfaction perceptions in negative way as well. It was also revealed that teachers' organisational support and organisational justice perceptions affect their organisational commitment and job satisfaction perceptions positively via the mediating role of organisational cynicism perceptions.
