Abstract

The paper deals with a study concerning the principals’ perceptions of their values and the type of organizational culture that exist in their schools in the Druze sector. A research was conducted with six Druze principals in Junior High schools in Northern Israel, under the form of interviews. Parallel to the interviews, the OCAI questionnaire was distributed to the teachers, employees and principals to find out the organizational culture in the schools. The results of the OCAI questionnaires show that the clan culture is the most dominant one, the market culture is the second and the adhocracy culture is the third. The results of the interviews show that the principals work on two kinds of values: the Druze values: telling the truth, saving the traditions and the honor and dignity of others. And the universal values: respect, order, loyalty, inclusion and understanding others, fairness, flexibility, belonging, commitment, conscience, consistency, forgiveness, honesty, telling the truth, professional ethics, responsibility, setting limits, striving for excellence, teamwork, tolerance, trust, good intention, the ability to give, the equation between giving and taking, affiliation and the importance of the group. The values of the principals can predict the organizational culture and vice versa. The intended contribution of the research is to raise the awareness of the principal and the teachers to the values of the principals and to the organizational culture, and to think of ways to improve them. The intended contribution of this research to the science is to give more evidence to the correlation between the dominant organizational culture and the principals' values where one can be predicted by the other.
