TEACHING STAFF OF THE ELEMENTARY AND LOWER SECONDARY SCHOOL: PROFESSIONAL POTENTIAL IN A SPECIFIC ORGANIZATION

The text deals with teaching staffs of Elementary and Lower secondary schools and the specifics of professional relationships within these educational organizations. Based on quantitative research (questionnaire OCDQ-RS; N=125) of teaching staff social climate realized in 2016 in the Czech Republic, the data show a picture of the phenomenon in Czech schools. The dynamics of relationships is now being researched through qualitative research in selected schools to get a deeper view. Cluster analysis of quantitative data enables us to create a typology of teaching staffs which can be used to confront the results of each of the qualitatively researched school with the generated model of teaching staff climates. It seems that characteristics of teaching staff social climate differ (not only) in various work conditions and that it is not possible to attribute final effects of school functioning to the teaching staff school climate. Authors do base research with applicability for researched schools in the field of school management. The goal of this contribution is to create a typology of teaching staffs according to parameters of social climates of quantitatively researched schools, describe the constructed types and interpret them in the context of the school work conditions.
