The Impact of High School Teachers’ Perceptions of Synergistic Management on Organizational Culture and Organizational Learning Perceptions

Abstract

The exposure of educational institutions to rapid and profound changes due to globalization and the transition to the knowledge society emphasizes the cultivation of individuals who develop universal and critical thinking skills through educational transformation. Synergistic management is an approach that has gained increasing importance in educational management in recent years, highlighting its predictive capacity by contributing to the quality of educational activities. Synergistic management practices enable different elements within organizations to come together to achieve more effective results and are strongly associated with organizational culture and learning processes. The learning processes of organizations foster the development and continuity of intellectual knowledge accumulation by creating awareness in the organizational culture memory. Secondary education institutions are of critical importance in completing students’ personality development and preparing them for higher education, underscoring the significance of examining teachers’ perceptions of synergistic management, organizational culture, and organizational learning for the development of management and leadership strategies in educational institutions. At the end of the study, it was found that organizational learning and organizational culture (r=.82, p<.01) had a high level of statistically significant and positively directed relationship with synergistic management (r=.83, p<.01). Additionally, a high level of statistically significant and positively directed relationship was also identified between organizational culture and synergistic management (r=.76, p<.01). The results of Cohen’s f² analysis for the structural model indicated that the statistical effect sizes of synergistic management on organizational culture (f²=3.081) and organizational learning (f²=12.513) were substantial, demonstrating the significance of the relationships in the model.
