EFFECTIVENESS AND THE ACTION ORIENTATIONS OF GROUPS OF PARENTS, TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS IN PROMOTING EDUCATIONAL CHANGE IN QUEBEC, CANADA
Abstract
Is there a relationship between the nature and intensity of the action orientations of the members of a team and group effectiveness? This problem was explored with a sample of 21 educational workshop groups taken from a population of 138 such groups associated with elementary schools in Quebec (Canada), categorized according to their rated effectiveness. Four other Measures, test V (values), N (Norms), R (roles) and F (facilities), were administered to parents, teachers and administrators who formed each educational workshop group. Effective groups differed from less effective groups in the areas of shared values, adherence to norms related to participation, methods of participating in the work and in the area of satisfaction with the human and material resources which affected their group behavior.
