School Culture and Performance: Testing the Invariance of an Organizational Model

ABSTRACT

The present study examines the generalizability of a previously‐validated model concerning how visible aspects of organizational culture can affect performance within an educational environment. Data were collected from 156 upper and lower secondary‐school teachers selected at random from 26 secondary schools in Singapore. The results indicate that school performance can be determined from knowledge of a school's cultural environment. The theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.
