Despite the currency of site-based management in public schools, resea
rchers indicate that little is understood about how such collaboration
works. While variants of site-based management have been identified a
s promising means of education reform, an understanding of the dynamic
s of site-based management is lacking. A major deficiency in the resea
rch has been a failure to consider the collective bargaining relations
hip between teacher unions and school administrators. The purpose of t
his research is to develop and test a conceptual model of site-based m
anagement for public schools that is predicated on the labor-managemen
t relationship. This interdependency premise asserts collaboration can
not be implemented successfully unless the collective bargaining relat
ionship is satisfied.
