A Comparative Study Of The Impact Of Organizational Climate On Educational Institutions In Private And Government Secondary Schools Of Faridabad.

Abstract

Human development hinges fundamentally on education, which serves as the principal vehicle for transmitting, preserving, and advancing culture. A nation's education system reflects and shapes its cultural identity. Central to the educational process is the teacher, who plays a pivotal role in shaping the nation. Teachers illuminate the path of knowledge, perpetuating the country's cultural and traditional values. As stated by former President of India, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, "Teachers are the protectors of the welfare of the nation and the heritage of the future." Teachers are thus regarded as the core of the school's learning environment. They must be of high character and competence, as they not only represent but also cultivate the nation's culture.

The objective of the present research study is to study the impact of the leadership of the principals of the government and private schools of secondary level in Faridabad district and the organizational climate of the educational institutions on the work culture of teachers. To fulfill this objective, 20 government and 20 private schools have been selected.  Standardized climate scale has been constructed by Umendra Singh and Nidhi Madan for job satisfaction of teachers, S Talsera for leadership style of principal and for organizational climate of educational institutions. Mean, standard deviation etc. have been used for interpretation and analysis of data. After analysis, it was found that the leadership style of the principal of government and private secondary schools at secondary level and organizational climate of educational institutions do not affect the job satisfaction of teachers.

Introduction

School Climate

School climate refers to the set of relationships that are determined by the structural, personal and functional factors of an educational community. Which gives uniqueness to schools. School climate is an important factor in teacher's job satisfaction. School climate has a strong influence on teacher and principal's job satisfaction and professional development. If the school climate is healthy, then the teacher automatically feels satisfied there. For a healthy institution, cordial relations and cooperation between the teacher and principal are very important.

1. Educational institution

The organisational aspect of the school is mainly related to those arrangements which help in achieving the set objectives. Under school organisation, physical and human elements are made available and organised to achieve the objective.

According to Arthur Mollman, a definite organisation is required for the accomplishment of the work of education. According to H.J. Otto, "The organisation of a school is the administrative expression of the education theory. It is the structure in which teachers, students, inspectors and other persons work for the processes of the school. The school system provides the environment of education. The leadership style of the principal also affects the institutions.
