校長的不確定感與組織學習機制（下）

Principals' sense of uncertainty and organizational learning mechanisms

目的：本研究目的在於檢測校長的不確定感對於學校組織學習機制（organizationallearning mechanism, OLM）的影響。設計／方法／分析：我們蒐集了來自特拉維夫和以色列中央區中130所學校的校長（90名女性、40名男性）的數據，在針對校長的不確定感與OLM的相關性計算後，再以層級迴歸分析檢測校長的不確定感和人口變量對於OLM因素的影響。結果：本研究結果揭示出校長的不確定感和學校OLM之廣泛性具負相關。層級迴歸分析的結果顯示，校長的不確定感所呈現的複雜維度與OLM呈負相關，而教學資歷（年資）則與OLM呈正相關。研究限制／影響：未來可結合環境的不確定性、教師的學習過程以及學生的學習成果等做進一步的研究。獨創性／價值：不同於企業管理領域的研究結果，本研究指出校長所感知之不確定感，其複雜性維度除了變動程度外，也含括學校OLM的廣度。

Purpose – The purpose of the present study is to examine the effect of principals' sense of uncertainty on organizational learning mechanisms (OLMs) in schools.
Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 130 school principals (90 women and 40 men) from both Tel-Aviv and Central districts in Israel. After computing the correlation between perceived uncertainty and OLMs, hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to examine the effect of principals' sense of uncertainty and the demographic variables on the OLMs' components.
Findings – The results of this study reveal a negative relationship between principals' sense of uncertainty and the extensiveness of OLMs in schools. Hierarchical regression analyses reveal that OLMs are predicted significantly and negatively by the complexity dimension of perceived uncertainty and predicted significantly and positively by seniority in teaching (length of service). Research limitations/implications – The findings call for ongoing research on the connection between environmental uncertainty, faculty learning processes, and student outcomes.
Originality/value – Contrary to the findings of various studies on business management, the paper shows that the complexity dimension of principals' perceived uncertainty, rather than the changeability dimension, predicted the extensiveness of organizational learning mechanisms in schools.
