Examining School Environmental Constraints: A Comparative Study of Manitoba and Hong Kong Schools
Mots-clés :
Comparative education, Contingency theory, Educational administration, Manitoba, Hong KongRésumé
Une étude empirique des contraintes environnementales en jeu dans l'adaptation organisationnelle, étude qui a fait appel à des théories de la contingence et à un School Environmental Constraint Instrument (SECI), a révélé que les systèmes scolaires publics du Manitoba et de Hong Kong fonctionnent dans des contextes dont les caractéristiques et les contraintes sont particulières à une région donnée. Certaines des adaptations mises en œuvre par les systèmes scolaires étaient en effet incompatibles avec les théories de la contingence.
