    Culture
    ORGANIZATIONAL
    CULTURE OF SCHOOLS
    There are numerous attempts to define
    what organizational culture is. One of
    simplest and probably the most common
    known definition is "the way we do things
    around here" (Lundy and Cowling, 1996).
    The concept of organizational culture
    explains that "the way we do things..."
    comes from specific setnof values, beliefs,
    attitudes and behaviors that are shared by
    organizational members, which gives the
    organization unique and distinctive
    character (Brown, 1998).
    Organizational culture manifests itself at
    different levels or through different
    dimensions. Edgar Schein (1992)
    argues that it can be seen as
    phenomenon that expresses itself on
    three levels.
    ● THE LEVEL OF BASIC
    ASSUMPTIONS
    - deeply rooted in our minds these
    mental models give us an explanation
    about the nature of the world , nature of
    human being, etc. These are usually
    unconscious but strongly influence the
    reality of our organizations
    ● LEVEL OF ARTEFACTS

    - It can be seen on the material, space,


    material resources, and equipment look
    and are used. It usually reflects what is
    important in organizations from the
    perspective of levels of basic assumptions
    and values and it is good if it is consistent
    with those levels (Schein, 1992).
    The organizational culture of school is
    often taken for granted, but it is a subject
    that needs greater focus and
    understanding of school-based
    professionals.
    Organizational culture can be found in
    shared relationships among
    colleagues, norms within the school
    environment, student, and teacher
    relations, and sharing experiences.
    A schools organizational culture provide
    a sense of identity, promotes
    achievement orientation, help shapes
    standards and patterns of behavior,
    creates distinct ways of doing things,
    and determines direction.
