Abstract

Investigation into types of organizational culture of secondary educational institutions: effects of meso- and micro-level factors. The article presents the results of an empirical study into the levels of development of organizational culture types (organic, participatory, entrepreneurial, and bureaucratic) of educational institutions. It was shown that the organic and the participatory culture typeswere the most developed organizational cultures of secondary educational institutions, while the entrepreneurial and the bureaucratic types were the least developed. The author also discusses the results of the analysis of correlations between the types of organizational culture and the educational organizations’ organizational (number of staff working in the organizations, organizations’ length of life, location, and type) and social-demographic (staff’s age, gender, marital status) characteristics. The investigation found that the developmentlevels of organizational culture types in educational institutions were influenced by a number of staff working in the educational organization and the organization’s location and type. In particular, it was shown that the more the number of staff, the less developed was the organic type of organizational culture; the bureaucratic type of organizational culture was more developed in educational organizations located in cities rather than in villages and small towns; the participatory type of organizational culture was more developed in educational organizationslocated in villages and small towns; the innovative educational organizations had more developed organic and entrepreneurial type of organizational culture, while the traditional educational organizations were characterized by the developed participatory type of organizational culture.
