The level of job satisfaction of speech pathologists was examined in two organizational school systems, centralized and decentralized. The purpose of this study was to determine whether job satisfaction was greater among speech pathologists working in a centralized organizational system or among those working in a decentralized system.

Show moreThe level of job satisfaction of speech pathologists was examined in two organizational school systems, centralized and decentralized. The purpose of this study was to determine whether job satisfaction was greater among speech pathologists working in a centralized organizational system or among those working in a decentralized system. The rationale for this study involves the relationship between job satisfaction and employee behavior. Tardiness, apathy and sabotage are often expressions of dissatisfaction. Employee satisfaction is a key factor in maintaining low rates of absenteeism or turnover. The method for assessing positive or negative job satisfaction was an attitude questionnaire designed around five categories: (1) General job attitude satisfaction; (2) Overall system satisfaction; (3) Supervision satisfaction; (4) Immediate job satisfaction; (5) County school system satisfaction. Using the Likert scale, positive or negative job satisfaction was determined. The higher the scores the greater the magnitude of dependent variable. Subjects included a random sample of forty speech pathologists working in Broward or Dade County public school systems. Data were analyzed for correlation between paired ranks with the .05 level of probability being accepted as evidence of statistical significance. Analyses revealed statistically significant relationships among twelve out of thrity-eight questions. These results suggest that the level of job satisfaction can be altered by adjusting the characteristics of a decentralized and centralized system. Thus, to some degree job satisfaction is affected by organizational structure. Further analysis of the scores indicated that a decentralized system provides more positive job satisfaction than does a centralized system. Interpretation of findings was confounded by the following limitations. (a) The researcher can never be sure that the respondent is expressing his or her true attitude rather than a socially acceptable attitude. (b) The validity of this study is directly related to the validity of the responses made by individuals in the sample. (c) Job satisfaction involves many unpredictable factors, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Two more general concerns arise with research of this nature. First, the difficulty of determining which components of job satisfaction are most important to any given population and, second, the difficulty of determining how any one area of job satisfaction or dissatisfaction affects the other areas of the study. Research suggestions included the following: (1) Strengthening the statistical results by selection of a larger population in which to obtain base raw data. (2) The establishing of a needs hierarchy relative to job satisfaction. (3) Further research on the definition and measurement of job factors. (4) Determination of the relative independence of job factors. (5) Subdivision of the factors used in this study in the interest of producing more precise results. (6) More and better standardized instruments for the measurement of both job attitudes and their effects on job satisfaction.

Show moreThis study was undertaken to determine the status of school-based management in ten Florida school districts that received School Management Improvement Grants. A literature search was conducted to determine those characteristics indicative of school-based management, fifteen hypotheses were formulated, and two questionnaires were developed. One questionnaire was a guide for interviews, and the second was sent to school-based administrators, teachers, and advisory committee members in the districts studied. A total of 400 persons participated. Analyses of the data received indicated significant differences in the degree to which the characteristics' presence were observed when responses were grouped according to the respondents' districts. This was noted in all areas except the principal's flexibility to transfer funds. When responses were grouped according to the positions of the respondents, significant differences were observed in all areas except support services, determination of staff needs, establishment of school advisory committees, and their participation in making periodic reports. Differences in perceptions were noted in the areas of support services, staff needs, staff recommendations, staff development, school advisory committees, and the staff's ability to requisition materials. The research led to these recommendations: (1) The lack of research available concerning tangible results from implementation of school-based management indicates a need for studies in this area. (2) Education should be provided for all groups involved to improve their understanding of the concept. (3) Education, in preparation for the delegation and assumption of responsibility, should be provided. (4) The district staff should be more sensitive to the support services required by the schools. (5) More authority should be given to the principal in determining his staff needs and selecting his staff, with in-service training as needed. (6) Principals, with their staffs, should be given assistance in determining their staff development needs. (7) The establishment of advisory committees at each school should be mandated by the State Legislature. (8) Education should be provided to help members understand their roles and meet their responsibilities. (9) Present budgeting procedures should be reexamined and more research undertaken. If changes are indicated, an educational program to prepare those involved should be initiated. (10) Further research, using a control group, should be conducted.

Show moreThis dissertation focuses attention on the ways in which public and nonpublic school administrators view socio-educational principles, their own and one another's schools, and the ways in which schools could share rather than compete. After an introduction which finds American and Floridian cultural pluralism and educational dualism to have been transplanted by early colonists, the dissertation describes the method by which the data were gathered: a thirty-four item, open-ended questionnaire which was completed by twelve public school and twenty private school administrators and officials largely in two Florida counties--Palm Beach and Broward. The data suggests that while there is general agreement for parental choice in education within both groups and general agreement about the "propriety" of four types of schools (public, independent, church-related, and proprietary), there are misunderstandings, hostilities, tensions, and territorial imperatives at work in day-to-day relationships. The problems of money, certification of teachers and administrators, and defensiveness run through the respondents' views. Areas of school functioning on which the two sectors generally agree include the right of citizens to open new schools, the threat of revenue loss, rejection of the proposed voucher system, public progression based on merit, local accreditation of private schools, and the need to check contract-status prior to engaging a teacher. Other matters are major or minor bones of contention between private and public school leaders: elitism, the problem of brain drain, white flight schools, the place of religion and state-devised curricula, teacher certifications and the right of teachers to move freely from one sector to another, and the transfer of students' records. Because evidence suggests that there is increasing cooperation between public and private school leaders at the national and state levels and no clear progress at the county level, the dissertation concludes with a recommendation that the dominant university in the area extend its interest in the relationship between the sectors and plan bridges to increasing cooperation in the interest of a quest for excellence shared by public and nonpublic schools and their leaders.

This study was designed to examine the perceptions of secondary school assistant principals and deans in Palm Beach County to determine the extent that they perceived their involvement in the decision-making process. Conclusions. It is concluded from the results of these analyses that there are significant differences between the perceptions of assistant principals and deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant differences in their perceptions of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making: l) Communication; 2) Motivation; 3) Accountability; 4) Interaction-Influence; and 5) Involvement In Decision Haking. There are no significant differences in their perceptions of the Discrimination variable used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making. It is also concluded from the results of these analyses that there are significant differences between the perceptions of black deans and white deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant differences in their perceptions of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making: l) Accountability; 2) Motivation; 3) Communication; and 4) Discrimination. There are no significant differences in their perceptions of the Interaction-Influence and Involvement In Decision Making variables used to measure the extent of involvement in decision making. Additionally, the analyses also indicate significant correlations between the years of administrative experience of assistant principals and deans and their perceptions with regard to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant correlations relative to the following variables used to measure the correlations: 1) Involvement In Decision Making: 2) Interaction-Influence; 3) Motivation; and 4) Discrimination. There are no significant correlations relative to the Accountability and Communication variables used to measure the correlations. Finally it is concluded that deans are no less reluctant to assume responsibility in decision making than assistant principals.

Show moreThis study proposes a school based management model for Florida schools based on the role of the principal as principals perceive that role. The reviewed literature indicated little information was available concerning principals'· views on school based management, yet the role ascribed to them seems to make their opinions vital, The crucial nature of the principal's role seemed to justify designing a school based management model centered on his role as decision- maker. The literature established prominent characteristics of school based management, and defined the principal's role, The principal's management role is three-fold. He is manager of finance, instruction, and personnel. Under school based management his role is characterized by more responsibility for decisions and greater latitude in planning. School based management entails colleague-type decision- making, The principal is examined for this characteristic as he relates to faculty, parents, students, and district personnel. The results of this survey are recommended to the Department of Education and the Legislature f or consideration during the formative stage of the school based management program. The results of this survey indicate a need to reexamine plans for participation of parents in school decision-making . It is recommended that the Department of Education and the Legislature do this. The results of this survey indicate a need to reexamine the value of the school advisory committee as a vehicle for parental input into school management. This reexamination is recommended.

Show moreThere is no question that the percentage of women in administrative positions is disproportionate to the number of women who make education their career. That this number is declining is well documented. External factors blamed for this disparity are many; school board prejudices, community attitudes, and the organization of school systems, are but a few. This study is important because it investigates the intrinisic motivation of women. The question considered is, Are women motivated to seek administrative jobs? The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between motivation and employment of women in education. The data was collected by giving David Winter's Power Motive test to both sexes of administrators and teachers. Winter's instrument assesses power motivation from stories subjects make up to describe a series of ambiguous pictures. Stories were scored using Winter's scoring system. It was determined that there was no significant difference in the power motive of men and women, whether they were teachers or administrators. There was, however, a very significant difference between the power motive scores of teachers and administrators, with teachers having a higher power motive score.

Show moreThe role of the business partner in education has come into more prominence in the public school system, especially at the high school level. Shrinking budgets have prompted high school principals to explore the idea of business partnerships as a way to close the gap in academic achievement and provide direction for high schools struggling to meet the workforce development demands in today's society. In addition, financial support has provided opportunities for curriculum enhancement, staff development, and student support. However, as more emphasis is placed on the development of school business partnerships, the need to determine how these partnerships function successfully is a necessary part of the process. This study looked at the historical perspective concerning the involvement of the business sector and their relationship with education throughout the twentieth century. This exploratory study utilized quantitative and qualitative data gathering procedures. The purpose of this study was to identify the skills and knowledge that high school principals and their business counterparts need to have to create an equitable relationship. High school principals from three school districts in the State of Florida were asked to complete a quantitative survey, including a section in which they named their business partners. A section was provided for each principal to agree to a personal interview. One principal from each Florida school district was selected at random from among those returned surveys in which the principal agreed to be interviewed. In addition, a photo matrix was created by visiting each high school campus in which the principal agreed to an interview in order to collect data of businesses that had visible name recognition. The top six business partners based upon frequency of appearance or as indicated by the principal were selected from the matrix and contacted for an interview. The research questions that guided this study were (a) What is the nature of the relationship between high schools and their business partners? (b) What do high school principals need to know in order to create equitable business partnerships? (c) What do business partners need to know in order to create equitable education partnerships? (d) Based on this study, what recommendations emerge that will promote more equitable relationships between business and education partnerships?

Show moreWho has power and control over education, one of the most treasured and significant values of American society? This study examines the presence of the elite power structure in higher education and how organizations are used as instruments of institutional power. The research questions consider the manner in which elites are involved in the policy process and governance, the reasons why elites are so involved in Florida's public higher education, and how elites convey and implement their priorities and values. An exploratory research approach examines the presence of Farazmand's (1994, 1999) concept of organizational elites by combining qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection. The findings support the research propositions. The reason for governance change builds on three factors throughout which power and control persist, a change in membership of the State Cabinet, the Governor's desire to be accountable for education policy, and a lack of confidence in the existing governance system. Trustees advocate for their university and education in general through alumni programs, fundraising, political affiliations, business and research partnerships, and other university and community college boards. Trustees are successful business people, savvy politicians, and well connected to state political leaders. They recognize their collective assets as influence with the Florida legislature, bringing financial order and accountability, and increasing funding and resources. The existence of organizational elites and their effect are seen in several areas: lack of knowledge of trustee meetings and decisions; limited communications, a perceived disconnect between faculty and trustees, a budget process perceived as not being transparent, and a level of decision making at which most staff members are not participants. This study suggests boards work to enhance and improve their communication, outreach, professionalism, and faculty relations. Trustees, elected officials and state leaders must work to resolve the power and organization of the Board of Governors.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine if Catholic schools in the state of Florida were using learning organization principles, and if they were, what effect did it have on student learning. The study was framed by three concepts: learning organization principles, student achievement, and contextual factors. The study employed a nonexperimental design and the school was the unit of study. The study's instrument, called the Learning Organization Survey for Schools (LOSS), was distributed to fifty Catholic schools in the state of Florida in the summer of 2006. Each school was asked to distribute the surveys to ten full-time teachers working at the schools. Thirty-four of the schools responded for a 7 5. 7 % rate of return. The study showed that Catholic schools are using learning organization principles. A reliable instrument was established and achieved face validity through the use of an expert panel. Mental models were significantly negatively related. Shared vision was significantly positively related to student achievement. Three statistically significant moderating relationships between the contextual factors, mental models, shared vision and systems thinking and student achievement were found. Two major conclusions were drawn from this study. Catholic schools are using learning organization principles, and shared vision has an impact on the success of a school. The second conclusion is that schools should work diligently to develop shared vision if they desire to improve student achievement.

Show moreThe purpose of the study was to determine whether a relationship exists between school climate and school performance in Miami Dade County's schools of choice. More specifically, the study sought to determine: (a) the climate in Miami Dade County's magnet programs/schools of choice; (b) whether high performing (A/B) magnet programs schools have a different climate than low performing (D/F) magnet programs/schools of choice; (c) if the relationship between school climate and school performance is moderated by contextual factors; and (d) if a model can be developed to predict school performance using the variables in the study. Archival data was retrieved from the Florida Department of Education (FLDOE) website to determine school performance and from Miami Dade County Public Schools' (MDCPS') website, District Profiles and Statistical Abstracts from 1998-1999 to 2003-2004 to determine school climate. The MDCPS' data is based on survey responses from The School Climate Survey that is administered annually to 100 parents, staff and students in all 356 K-12 schools. Four questions guided the research and nine related hypotheses aligned to specific questions were analyzed and presented. The school was the unit of study. The results from School Climate Responses for 73 magnet programs/schools representing 12 percent of Miami Dade County Public Schools' 356 schools were analyzed. After determining a mean score for each selected item in the survey, the overall mean scores for each year was computed. The analysis employed a variety of procedures including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), graphical analyses and Multiple Regression/Correlational Analyses. The study has implications for policy makers at the state and district level, principals, teachers and parents as they relate to reduction of school size and a trend towards schools-within-a school or theme schools. There are also issues that will inform future research and leadership development at the university level.

A descriptive design, primarily quantitative and correlational in nature, was employed. It was concluded that school leadership had an indirect effect on student achievement in parochial schools in Florida. Furthermore, school work culture (school planning, program development, staff development, and assessment) directly impacted student achievement. The contextual variables of socioeconomic status and school size combined did not moderate the relationship among leadership style, school work culture and fourth-grade students' reading achievement scores.

Show moreCharter schools have dramatically increased in number in Florida and throughout the country. In Florida, charter schools must meet the achievement standards developed through the A Plus Plan. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of transformational leadership and reading achievement in Broward County, Florida charter schools. Transformational leadership was defined using the model developed by Kenneth Leithwood (Leithwood, Jantzi, & Steinbach, 1999). Transformational leaders are those that demonstrate, charisma/inspiration/vision, intellectual stimulation, individual consideration, contingent reward, high performance expectations, goal consensus, modeling, culture building, and structuring. Charter schools in Broward County, Florida were surveyed using the "Nature of School Leadership Survey" (Leithwood & Jantzi, 1995). The results of the survey in each transformational leadership dimension were correlated with reading achievement measured in learning gains. No significant relationships were found. Further, the relationships were analyzed to determine if contextual variables SES, size and configuration moderated the relationship. None of the contextual variables moderated the relationships. Finally, the population of charter schools was divided into thirds based on level of reading achievement gains to determine if the top and bottom third of schools used transformational leadership differently. No significant difference was found.
