School Cultures: Organizational Value Orientation and Commitment

This study investigated elementary and high school teachers' organizational commitment and workplace value orientation. Shein's model of organizational culture was used to interpret the findings of the study. A cross-sectional design was used to carry out the study, and survey methods were used to collect the data. The results indicate that differences exist between elementary and high schools regarding how the workplace value orientation relates to teacher organizational commitment. We suggest possible application of the findings to administrative practice.
