Bureaucracy, Powerlessness, and Teacher Work Values

Isherwood, Geoffrey B.; Hoy, Wayne K.

Journal of Educational Administration, 11, 1, 124-138, May 73

This study examined teachers' sense of powerlessness within two distinctive school organizational structures. Definite patterns of teacher sense of powerlessness were uncovered within Authoritarian and Collegial school structures. In addition, a majority of teachers in Authoritarian schools experienced a greater sense of powerlessness than did their peers in Collegial schools. (Authors)
