Abstract
A school’s climate plays a major role in the staff’s behavior. How faculty perceives their work environment is imperative to establish because it determines the concentration and effort that will be expended to lead an educational organization to its vision and mission. Using the descriptive research design, this study examined the organizational school climate of the Mountain Province State Polytechnic College involving the school administrators, the teaching and non-teaching staff. The adapted but modified Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire (OCDQ) and Organizational Health Index (OHI) were the two research instruments used in the data gathering of the study. The OCDQ was used to evaluate the administrators’ leadership style with the criteria of supportive, directive, and respective. Employees’ interaction was also measured through collegial, intimate and disengaged behavior. The OHI tool was used to measure the organizational health of the school at the technical, managerial, and institutional level. From the analysis of data, findings revealed that the school climate of MPSPC was closed. This closed school climate is brought about by the low openness indices of the administrators and employees. On the other hand, the organizational health of MPSPC was healthy. This healthy organizational health of MPSPC proved that our school continue to survive in its environment and progressively aims to become strong and flourishing in its endeavors. Therefore, school environment such as organizational climate and organizational health were important in maintaining good relationship with peers. Results of this study could be a basis in the making, and improving the college organizational climate and organizational health in any institution.
