Abstract


This study was conducted with an aim to explore the relationship between organizational health, teachers' organizational commitment and their perception of elementary schools principals at Area # 02, Esfahan in the academic year 2012-2013 using a descriptive method categorized as "Correlation". The statistical population comprised the entire population of teachers at Area # 02, Esfahan numbering 676 in the academic year 2012-2013. Of this number, using random stratified sampling proportionate to the size, and Cochran's sample size formula, 245 subjects were selected to participate in the study. The instruments used comprised three inventories: Hoy et al's Standard Organizational Health (1998), Allen and Meyer's Standard Organizational Commitment Health (1990) and Researchers Ghasemi et al’s developed inventory (2011). The face validities of the three inventories were approved by a number of elementary school teachers in a preliminary operation. The content validity of Researchers Ghasemi et al’s developed inventory was re-approved by such referees as the supervisor, advisor and a number of in-field authorities. The reliabilities of the Organizational Health Inventory, Organizational Commitment Inventory and Manager's Performance Perception Inventory were estimated at 0.78, 0.81 and 0.88 respectively. The findings indicated significantly positive relationships between the organizational health and the teachers' perception of the managers' performance, between the organizational health and teachers' organizational commitment as well as between the organizational commitment and the teachers' perception of the managers' performance.
