HIGH SCHOOLS AS STAFF PERCEIVE THEM

Abstract

Halpin and Croft's OCDQ and Aiken and Hayes' bureaucratisation scale were administered to the staffs of 14 State High Schools in an Australian city. The data were subjected to a principal component analysis followed by a varimax rotation. This procedure procured six measures. A diagrammatic representation of the differences revealed between groups within a school is presented. The most significant conclusion is that a high school will include in its staff groups who hold distinct perceptual models of the school's administrative structure and of the principal's leadership quality.
