Reasons for (Not) Choosing the Profession of Teaching; A Case Study on Organizational Loneliness-Commitment

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal the reasons for a classroom teacher (not) to choose the profession and her views on organizational loneliness and commitment related to the profession. A viewpoint, a case study and profession-related views were presented to teachers who would begin their duty or especially those who would work as the only teacher in village schools. In a part of the diary compiled from professional memories, difficulties that might be faced especially by teachers who would be assigned to distant villages under harsh conditions, were tried to be described via a case study.
