Abstract
The aim of this research is to find answer to the question “according to the teachers in primary and secondary schools, do the school administrators show favouritism?” For this purpose, teacher’s opinion scale was used to decide whether administrators show favouritism or not. Population of the research consisted of teachers working at 76 primary and secondary schools (3276), in 2013- 2014 academic year in Van. Sample teachers were specified through casting lots among 18 schools and it consisted of 202 teachers, 85 of whom were women, 117 were men, 114 were primary and 88 were secondary school teachers. At the end of the research, it was concluded that administrators are not capable of applying the principles and rules, and show favouritism in such issues as teachers’ breaking rules, taking parts in celebrations, authorising and giving additional duties.
