Investigation of the Relationship Between Academicians' Critical Thinking Levels and Perceptions of the Organization on Ethical Climate

Summary/Abstract: Critical thinking is one of the most important features of academic life. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the critical thinking level of academicians in sports sciences research area and their perceptions about the ethical climate of the organization. The total of 130 academicians (39 females & 91 males) working in the Sports Sciences Faculty in the Aegean Region participated in the study. In this study, California Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory, Ethical Climate Scale (SES) and a questionnaire form were used to collect data. It was determined that academicians had moderate critical thinking level (M= 241.58; Sd = .16.31) and they slightly involved in the ethical climate of the university (M= 2.62; Sd = .46). It was found that there was a negative relationship between the critical thinking levels of academicians and ethical climate (r = -, 245), egoist climate (r = -, 299) and primitive climate (r = -, 289). It is important for academics to improve their critical thinking levels. However, the ethical climate to be created in the working environment for scientific production and efficiency plays an indispensable role.
