| Abstract | The examination of school organization from a cultural perspective focuses on value orientation and commitment in elementary and secondary schools, and relates the predicted cultural differences to specific organizational and demographic attributes. A cluster-sampling procedure first selected schools as the unit of analysis, and then selected teachers from each school. A survey of teachers from 53 elementary schools and 51 high schools yielded a 83.6 percent response rate. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and multiple regression were the primary methods of data analysis. The findings suggest that differences in organizational culture exist between elementary and high schools, and that such differences are not a function of demographic or organizational variables. A second finding indicates that the higher the level of normative value orientation, the higher the level of teacher organizational commitment. Normative controls therefore generate higher levels of teacher commitment. Finally, the results failed to confirm any relationship between personal characteristics of teachers and differences in organizational culture. This suggests that school culture exists independently of individual traits. The implications for administrative practice are that different school cultures require different administrative practices. (43 references) (LMI) |
