Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between teachers' perceptions of organizational democracy and organizational happiness. Correlational research design is followed. Maximum variation sampling, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was used in the study. The sample of the study consists of 182 teachers who work at different levels and are willing to participate in the study. Research data were collected by "Organizational Democracy Scale" and "Organizational Happiness Scale". After checking for the validity of the scales by CFA analyses, descriptive statistics and ANOVA were used for the analysis of the data. Results indicated significant relationship between organizational democracy and organizational happiness. According to the results of the research, no significant change was found for teachers' perceptions of organizational democracy with regard to gender, age and the level teachers serve. In addition, no significant change was found for teachers' perceptions of organizational happiness with regard to gender and the level teachers serve, but their perceptions differ significantly according to the age variable. Teachers in the age range of 22-34 have higher perceptions of organizational happiness than teachers in the 35-47 age range.
