A Reappraisal of the Halpin-Croft Model of the Organizational Climate of Schools.
Hayes, Andrew E.
This study serves as a basis for revisions of the Organizational Climate Description Questionnaire (OCDQ) and as the second part of a larger study in which the conceptual model of climate introduced by Halpin and Croft, and the OCDQ, will be revised. The purposes were (1) to determine the factor structure of the OCDQ when a large, national sample of data were subjected to the sophisticated factor-analytic procedures that have become available since the original Halpin-Croft study was conducted; and, (2) to identify "climate types" that are based on the factor structure that was identified through the new analyses. Maximum-likelihood factor-analytic methods, with subsequent oblique rotations of the factor matrixes, and taxonomic clustering procedures followed by multiple discriminant-analyses yielded factor solutions and climate types that differ from those which Halpin and Croft identified in their original climate study.
