Abstract
Abstract: The purpose of present study is to investigate the effect of organizational reputation on school’s policy encouraging participation in decision making. The participants were 214 master’s students in April 2013 in department of Educational Administration, Supervision, Planning and Economics (EASPE) from Zirve University and Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University (in cooperation with), and Harran University. The data were collected through personnel information form, single-item made yes/no for determining school’s policy encouraging participation of employees in decision making process at school, and Reputation Management Scale in Education Organizations developed in Turkish, by Balay, Kaya, & Yildirim (2013) designed as five-point scale, and consisted of 56 items and eight dimensions. Logistic Regression Analysis (LRA) was carried out to predict school’s policy encouraging participation in decision making using eight dimensions of organizational reputation entitled use of corporate entities, innovativeness, management quality, personnel’s human relations ability, personnel’s corporate performance ability, financial austerity, product and service quality, social responsibility as predictors. The results of study revealed a moderately strong relationship between organizational reputation and school’s policy encouraging participation of employees in decision making process at school. Nagelkerke’s r square showed that eight dimensions of organizational reputation together accounted for approximately 38 percent of the variance of school’s policy encouraging participation in decision making. Of the independent variables, the Wald criterion demonstrated that only management quality dimension of organizational reputation made a significant contribution to prediction of school’s policy encouraging participation in decision making. Keywords: organization, reputation, decision making, logistic regression analysis.
