The Views of Principals, Teachers and Support Staff on Organizational Communication Climate in Schools
Abstract
Schools are one of the organizations in which communication is most intense. Students, teachers, administrators and other stakeholders are constantly interacting and communicating in educational institutions. For the effectiveness of schools, all communication resources should be used in the most efficient way. Organizational communication climate, which consists of emotions, thoughts and perceptions of the employees about organizational communication processes, is one of the factors that shape the communication in educational organizations. In this study, it is aimed to determine the views of school principals, teachers and support staff on organizational communication climate in schools. The study group of this research, which is a qualitative study, was conducted with the participation of 5 school principals, 5 teachers and 5 support staff. Data was obtained by semi-structured interview technique and content analysis was performed. Findings suggest that the participants' ideas about trust, openness in downward communication, ability to listen in upward communication and attention to high-performance goals dimensions indicate more positive and open organizational communication climate when they indicate more negative and close organizational communication climate about joint decision-making and honesty dimensions.
