Abstract	The current study aims to evaluate employees' attitudes towards work in educational institutions. An attitude scale was developed in order to reach the research sub-purposes. The scale was administered to the selected sample to obtain the research findings. Survey model, a quantitative Research method, was used within the current research. The Research population consists of Education employees working in schools under department of education in the town of Corlu, city of Tekirdag. 312 administrators, 1878 teaching and 480 supportive staff worked in 98 schools in the town of Corlu when the Research was conducted. 215 participants within the research sample were selected through non-proportional quota sampling among the teachers working in schools in the town. A scale to measure attitudes toward work was used as the data collection tool within the research. Some statistical analyses were needed in order to define the Research sub-dimensions. SPSS 21 software package was used to analyze the data. One-way variance analysis (ANOVA), t-test, Tukey, and LCD tests were used in the analyses. Employees considered their works in five different dimensions. When employees' attitudes toward work are examined based on their demographic characteristics, it is seen that employees' age, genders and seniority were significant factors defining their attitudes toward work. The employees' attitudes toward work at educational institutions were examined in the current study. The five dimensions defined within the research results must be considered significant for employees at educational institutions and some incentives must be activated. (As Provided).
