Özet
Respect means consideration of actions and requests of others and confirmation
of values of others. School is a social institution where students are equipped
with knowledge and skills, as well as fundamental character attributes. Respect
among students, teachers, administrators, parents, and other staff at schools is of
importance. In this study, the focus group method, including 12 principals and
10 teachers at state primary schools, was employed to explore respect in principal–
teacher relations. According to the findings, the participants generally developed
professional respect understanding. The teachers presented different
definitions of respect associated with hierarchical relations. The participants’
respect behaviors were commonly observed in positive communication and selfimprovement.
The principals displayed respect for teachers through some guarding
behaviors, and the teachers displayed profession-related respect behaviors.
The common respect expectations of the participants were as follows: selfimprovement,
establishment of positive social relations, and unbiased behavior.
While the school principals expected obedience and complete fulfillment of
assigned tasks from teachers, the teachers expected civility, justice, and guarding
administration from principals. The participants regarded improper appearance,
behaviors contradictory to rules of good manners and bad habits as disrespectfulness.
The school principals regarded abuse of goodwill and false excuses by teachers
as disrespectfulness; whereas the teachers regarded oral or behavioral insults
by school principals and intervention in their private life as disrespectfulness.
