Restructuring and reculturing secondary schools within one Ontario school district began in 1994 when Government policy towards subject integration made it difficult to assign traditional department head responsibilities. Site-based decision making provided for very different organisational structures within the schools. This article examines change capacity from the notions of chaos theory and a living organisation. Longitudinal quantitative and qualitative data were collected over a five-year period to understand the impact of organisational change on the whole school. Our findings suggest that school leadership teams worked differently based on contextual conditions that fostered change capacity and reculturing. Consequently, schools functioned as living organisations with evolving and emerging organisational structures that were responsive to school goals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
