Özet
The purpose of this study is to investigate teachers' loneliness in the workplace in terms of human values they possess. The research is of the relational survey model. Teachers' perception of human values forms the independent variables of the research model. The level of teachers' loneliness in the workplace, on the other hand, constitutes the dependent variables of the research model. The study group of the present research consists of 472 primary education teachers working in the Konya Province of Turkey in 2009 who were selected using the random cluster sampling method. Of the teachers who constituted the sample, 242 were male and 230 were female. Schwartz' Values Inventory was used to measure teachers' preferences of human values and Loneliness in the Workplace Scale was used to measure their loneliness in the workplace. The results of the study indicate that there is a negative correlation between teachers' preferences of human values and the emotional deprivation and social companionship dimensions of loneliness in the workplace. Likewise, teachers' preferences of values account for variability in the emotional deprivation and social companionship dimensions of loneliness.
