SCHOOL CULTURE AND PERFORMANCE - TESTING THE INVARIANCE OF AN ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL

The present study examines the generalizability of a previously-valida ted model concerning how visible aspects of organizational culture can affect performance within an educational environment. Data were colle cted from 156 upper and lower secondary-school teachers selected at ra ndom from 26 secondary schools in Singapore. The results indicate that school performance can be determined from knowledge of a school's cul tural environment. The theoretical and practical implications of the r esults are discussed.
