| dc.description.abstract | This study on the Organizational Climate of Secondary Schools in Guji zone of Oromia National Regional State was conducted with purposes of investigating the organizational climate status and examining the relationships of some school- specific characteristics with the prevailing climates status of the secondary schools in the study area. A descriptive survey through quantitative and qualitative approaches was designed to conduct the study. Subjects for the study were secondary school teachers and principals, secondary school supervisors at the woreda offices, and those supervisors at the zonal education office. Data were gathered through an adapted standardized questionnaire known as OCDQ-RS, a designed semi-structured interview, and the analysis of relevant documents. Statistical tools such as mean, variance, percentages and grand median followed by statistical test of significance like chi-square ( X 2), one- way ANOVA and Sheff'e pair wise comparison were used in data processing and interpretation. The study disclosed the existence of significant differences among the secondary schools of the study area with respect to the status of their organizational climate of schools where the majority of the secondary schools tended to a relatively less open (more of closed) climates of their school. Principals' ages and their teaching and/or administrative experiences and teachers' ages and their lengths of teaching experiences were found to be associated with the organizational climate status of their schools. Lack of principal ship experiences, heavy work loads due to extra nonteaching responsibilities upon teachers, little or no concern for positive interpersonal interactions between and among principals and teachers were some of the suggested problems by respondents of this study. The joint efforts of the principals, teachers and others concerned to create a favorable working relationship in the secondary schools were among the recommendations that would help to improve the less favorable organizational climate prevailing in the majority of the secondary schools of the zone. | en_US |
