An Examining the Relationships between Organizational Structure, Organizational Commitment and Organizational Support in Teachers Through Structural Equation Modeling

Abstract

The structural characteristics of educational institutions play a significant role in the functioning of the system. The organizational structure of educational institutions is a crucial concept that reveals how institutions are organized, managed, and operated. Organizational structure describes the internal framework and operation of any institution or educational institution. The purpose of organizational structure is to describe the responsibilities of the institution, regulate internal and external communication, and facilitate the achievement of institutional goals. In educational institutions, this structure involves internal collaboration channels, communication, hierarchical processes, control mechanisms, and decision-making processes. The effectiveness of the organizational structure can be improved through the clarification of the duties and responsibilities of employees which in turn fosters effective collaboration and communication. The robustness of this structure positively influences the quality of learning by increasing interactions among school administrators, teachers, students, and staff. Organizational structures in educational institutions consist of functional, hierarchical, decision-making processes, communication processes, and control and supervision.
