The aim of this research is to investigate the school organizational climate and the communication within the organization which middle school and high school teachers interact. The specific problems that I propose to analyze are as follows:
First, what differences occur in a school organizational climate according to the variables of the teacher (ie. gender, position, career, and scale)?
Second, what differences occur in terms of communication within the organization according to the variables of a teacher (ie. gender, position, career, and scale)?
Third, what differences take place in the relationship between the school organizational climate and in communication within the organization according to the teacher's variable?
In terms of methodology, I employ literature to explain the theological background and also survey questions are used for a research inquiry.
In order to measure the school organizational climate, it is based on the school organizational climate questionnaire (No, Joung-He's Korean version), and it is used as a study tool (6 subordinate factor, total of 18 questions) which is Song, Ji-Young's modification and supplementation of it. In order to measure communication within the school organization, it is used as a tool (4 subordinate factors, total of 24 questions) reconstituted Kim, Byoug-hyun's questionnaires, that is based on Kim, Chang-Gul's 'communication index'.
The questionnaire was sent out to 400 teachers working at 13 middle and high schools in Iksan, Jeolla province and 338 of them were compiled for statistical analysis.
Collected questionnaires were then analyzed by quantitative statistics through using the SPSS program of Window, and each variable factor of technical statistics (average, standard deviation, frequency) is calculated. And, t-verification and one way ANOVA is carried out. Also, negative questions were processed as an inverse operation, and Pearson a coefficient of correlation is used to investigate the relation among each variable factor.
After organizing the results of the field work, I came up with the following conclusions:
First, it shows a high frequency in small scale schools (under 18 classrooms) that male teachers, manager teachers, and 20 more years of experienced teacher work as regards school organizational climate. A male teacher whose duty should support his family in Korean society; and it presents positional satisfaction regards to structural one's duty in organization where a male teacher carries his task. A supervisor teacher has a security and closeness in school; merit in small scale of organization, comparing to large size of organization, the experienced teacher in small size school which shows high sociability and solidarity is seemed to be aware in school organization climate. Therefore, in order to make an advisable school organization climate, the administrator of a school needs to show a proper educational philosophy to one's members and also give an effort to build an open school organization climate.
Second, it is of great importance that male teachers, manager teachers, 20 more years of experienced teachers in terms of the communication within the organization. This results from the fact that a male teacher who carries out roles in various fields in the organization because of males' character; a manager teacher whose role is a middle manager between board of directors and junior teachers; a high experienced teacher who works for a long time in school and maintains relationships among many people; a teacher in a small size school who is able to maintain friendly relations with people, compared to a large scale school. Therefore, effort needs to made in order to create horizontal communication harmoniously in school, and education and training of communication are demanded for a vigorous and vital school organization.
Third, it presents a high goal-achieving-behavior-principal regards to school organization climate and a high in teachers in terms of communication. It is understood that a school is composed of principal-centered and work-centered relation.
Therefore, in order to promote a healthy school organization climate, it is necessary that teachers cultivate a behavior of friendliness and goal centered behavior. Also, serious study about communication is needed between teachers and parents. In terms of communication between a teacher and a principal, it should take precedence a relationship between them, not based on formal and work-centered relation, but based on trust so that they would give and take an educational experience for each other.
