Organization downsazing of education organizations

IIIABSTRACTWe encounter and affiliate ourselves with organizations in all areas of our lives.In order to survive, these organizations we are affiliated with have to improve theirefficiencies and fall in step with the developing world. With the globalizing world anddeveloping technology, now it has been a must for organizations to change.Educational organizations, too, are among those organizations needing change.Organizational downsizing is one of the models of change, as studied in the research.Downsizing is a model that needs to be implemented in the educational domain for itspurposes and benefits. Although downsizing literally implies negativity, it is a verynecessary model from the point of increasing school efficiency and student/teachermotivation. Downsizing, due to the high number of students, divides schools with poorperformance into units, decreases the number of students, thus ensuring a healthiereducation; moreover, it reduces the hierarchical steps between administrators andteachers, thus ensuring an indirect communication between administrators and teachers.So, teachers are able to take part in the decisions and teacher motivations get higher.Since teacher motivation affects student success, student success will rise accordingly.As the number of students per classroom falls, teachers are able to establish one-to-oneinteraction with students, which in return results in good attendance records on the sideof students. Here, the role of school administrator is of great importance because it isthe administrator, who arranges the relationship between subordinates and superiors andwho determines the form of communication with teachers. This is why schooladministrators have to closely follow the developments in education.At this occasion, a questionnaire has been devised and implemented on thegroup of school administrators taken as sample to determine the knowledge of schooladministrators about downsizing and their subordinate and superior relationships withteachers. Os a result of the study, school administrators have stated that they agreedwith the benefits of downsizing, that the number of students in their schools was toohigh, that some of the methods of downsizing needed to be implemented accordinglyand that hierarchical steps needed to be arranged starting from the Ministry of NationalEducation.
