Perceived Organisational Climate in Slovak Vocational Schools

The proposed paper presents the results of a research study on the perceived organisational climate in Slovak vocational schools. The authors focus on the association between school openness and the quality of social relationships within institutions as perceived by teachers. The adapted version of the OCDQ-RS scale by Hoy, Tarter, and Kottkamp (1991) was used in the research. The results show that intimate teacher behaviour and positive relationships at work are important for the perceived organisational climate, which is an important finding for school leaders, especially in the context of the leadership style they apply
