PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF MANAGERIAL CULTURE FORMATION IN THE HEAD OF A GENERAL SECONDARY EDUCATION INSTITUTION AND ITS IMPACT ON CORPORATE CULTURE DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

At the present stage of reforms in Ukraine’s educational sphere, the fundamental goal of general secondary education institutions (GSEIs) is to ensure the comprehensive development of students by forming a solid base of knowledge, practical skills, competencies, and personal qualities. These elements are crucial for enabling learners to successfully realize themselves as individuals in both personal and professional domains. A key factor in achieving this aim is the consistent and purposeful formation of students’ worldview, as well as their spiritual, moral, and cultural values.
It is important that these processes occur in a systematic and synchronized manner among all participants in the educational process–teachers, students, and administrators alike. Within this context, the corporate culture of the institution plays a particularly significant role. It influences the school environment not only during the learning period but also leaves a lasting impact on graduates as they transition into wider society.
This article explores the conceptual framework of “culture” and “personal culture,” and clarifies the interconnection between these notions. Special attention is paid to the role of the school leader’s personal culture in shaping their managerial culture. Furthermore, the paper analyzes how the leader’s managerial culture contributes to the development of a positive corporate culture within the educational institution. Based on the research findings, the article presents structured models for the formation of both managerial culture in school leadership and internal corporate culture as a cohesive and dynamic system.
