The data were collected from teachers and managers working in Kindergartens, Primary Schools, Anatolian High Schools, and Vocational and Technical High Schools in the province of Antalya, Turkey via the “Organizational Culture Questionnaire” consisting of 20 items designed with five-point Likert scales, ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The population of the research consisted of 11690 teachers and managers working in these schools. Out of 1600 questionnaires sent to managers and teachers, a total of 1441 questionnaires were responded. After the invalid questionnaires were eliminated, 1284 questionnaires were included in the analysis. In order to determine the views of both managers’ and teachers’ means, frequencies, standard deviations, parametric and non-parametric test were utilized. Consequently, the findings show that school culture is not unique for all types of schools, more than that whatever the focus is in the school the culture is affected and shaped accordingly. The findings also imply that vocational and technical high schools seem to reflect more role and power culture.}, number={1}
