تعریف فرهنگ سازمانی مدرسه

 ابوالفضل بختیاریAbolfazl baktiari

Organizational (school) culture: (1) a body of solutions to external and internal problems that has worked consistently for a group and that is therefore taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think about, and feel in relation to those problems; which eventually come to be assumptions about the nature of reality, truth, time, space, human nature, human activity, and human relationships; and so that these assumptions come, over time, to be taken for granted and finally drop out of awareness (Schein, 1991); and (2) both product and process. As product, it embodies the accumulated wisdom of those who were members before we came. As process, it is continually renewed and re-created and new members are taught the old ways and eventually become teachers themselves. Our view is that every organization develops distinctive beliefs and patterns over time. Many of these patterns and assumptions are unconscious or taken for granted. They are reflected in myths, fairy tales, stories, rituals, ceremonies and other symbolic forms (Bolman & Deal, 1991).
