The Relationship between Staff Participation and Organizational Health in State-run High Schools in Tehran

This paper aimed at studying the relationship between staff participation and organizational health in state-run boy high schools in Tehran. A researcher-made staff participation questionnaire and the Organizational Health Inventory were administered to 147 high school teachers. They were selected through stratified random sampling. Descriptive statistics indices (such as frequency, percentile, and mean), Pearson coefficient of correlation, and Regression analysis were calculated. The findings showed that there was a significant positive relationship between staff participation and organizational health of the state-run boy high schools in Tehran. Furthermore, Regression analysis was used to predict organizational health in these high schools through the components of staff participation. The result indicated that two components of participation in change and participation in problem solving could be considered as the predictive variables in order to be used in the final regression equation to explain the variations in organizational health among staterun boy high schools in Tehran.
