Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to study the relationship between the attitudes of principals, municipality-specific aspects of reform implementation, and principals’ resistance to change.

Design/methodology/approach

The collected data are based on a multi-level structure. The levels of analysis are at the school level (school principal) and at the municipality level. Therefore, the research question posed in this study is examined using a quantitative multi-level analysis.

Findings

The results show that both the personal attitudes of school principals and adjustments made by the school presidency of the municipality affect the school principals’ willingness to change.

Research limitations/implications

The study’s focus on schools limits the ability to generalize the results to apply to other organizations. Nevertheless, schools are an important object of study for change management research because they share crucial organizational characteristics with other organizations in the public sector.

Originality/value

Studies that have looked at the change reactions of leaders in the public school sector have rarely examined individual and collective factors together. We focus on both, since the municipalities in many countries have a certain amount of leeway in implementing reforms, meaning that their involvement is of central importance for a successful change process.

校长对变革的抵制:对个人因素和环境条件的多层次分析
本文旨在研究校长的态度、改革实施的具体城市方面与校长抵制变革之间的关系。分析层面包括学校层面(校长)和市政层面。因此,本研究中提出的研究问题采用了多层次的定量分析方法。研究结果研究结果表明,校长的个人态度和市政当局对学校校长职位的调整都会影响校长的变革意愿。尽管如此,学校仍是变革管理研究的重要对象,因为它们与公共部门的其他组织有着共同的重要组织特征。原创性/价值研究公立学校领导变革反应的研究很少将个人因素和集体因素放在一起研究。由于许多国家的市政当局在实施改革时有一定的回旋余地,这意味着他们的参与对于成功的变革进程至关重要,因此我们将重点放在这两方面。

期刊介绍: ■Adapting strategic planning to the need for change ■Leadership research ■Responsibility for change implementation and follow-through ■The psychology of change and its effect on the workforce ■TQM - will it work in your organization? Successful organizations respond intelligently to factors which precipitate change. Economic climates, political trends, changes in consumer demands, management policy or structure, employment levels and financial resources - all these elements are constantly at play to ensure that organizations clinging on to static structures will ultimately lose out. But change is a dynamic and alarming thing - this journal addresses how to manage it positively.
