Institutional Level
Institutional Integrity: It is the school's ability to cope with its environment in a way that maintains the educational integrity of its programs. Teachers are protected from unreasonable community and parental demands.
Managerial Level
Principal Influence: It is the principal's ability to influence the actions of superiors. Being able to persuade superiors, to get additional consideration, and to be unimpeded by the hierarchy are important aspects of school administration.
Principal Consideration: It is principal’s behavior that is friendly, supportive, open, and collegial; it represents a genuine concern on the part of the principal for the welfare of the teachers.
Principal Initiating Structure: It is the principal’s behavior that is both task- and achievement-oriented. Work expectations, standards of performance, and procedures are clearly articulated by the principal.
Resource support: It refers to a school where adequate classroom supplies and instructional materials are available and extra materials are readily supplied if requested.
Technical level
Morale: It is a collective sense of friendliness, openness, enthusiasm, and trust among faculty members. Teachers like each other, like their jobs, and help each other; and they are proud of their school and feel a sense of accomplishment in their jobs.
Academic emphasis: It is the extent to which the school is driven by a quest for academic excellence. High but achievable academic goals are set for students; the learning environment is orderly and serious; teachers believe in their students' ability to achieve; and students work hard and respect those who do well academically.
