Circumplex Model at the Management Level of the School Organization
Keywords:
organizational culture; circumplex psychometric model; managementAbstract
The article presents a model of the managerial approach to organizational culture from the perspective of the Circumplex Model that began to crystallize in the 70s when several psychologists founded the complex concept of human synergy (Human Synergistics). The circumplex model measures 12 distinct thinking styles that either contribute to or hinder people’s effectiveness at work and overall life satisfaction. Thus, the Circumplex Model can be used as a measurement tool at the individual, group, or organization level. For the management of the school organization, this model can be the fastest indicator of the force of change it has and how ready the school organization is for the next level of evolution, development, and performance.
