Abstract


The aim of this study is to explore the organisational environment in an educational institution, focusing on organisational issues, leadership approaches and problems managers face, having as a unit of analysis a technological high school. A survey conducted among the employees revealed some important aspects, such as lack of communication, anxiety about being open and low motivation. The results show that getting input from everyone when making decisions, good leadership, and staff development initiatives are key for the well being of the high school as an educational institution. This study points out how important shared values are to building the organisational culture and offers ideas for improvement in an educational environment. Although the study is focused on one unit of analysis, the research gives useful insights for further research of the topic on a larger sample of this type of educational institutions.
