Organizational School Climate and Organizational Health of Mountain Province State Polytechnic College

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.
