Abstract

The study aims to prioritize critical climate components for school improvement. A psychometrically validated instrument named the Chinese “Organizational Climate Diagnostic Instrument for Junior High Schools” (OCDI-JH) was used to diagnose climate factors through expert judgments and fuzzy DEMATEL-based ANP. Results of the study identified the six factors clustered under the two dimensions of ‘Safety' (D1) or ‘Academic emphasis' (D2) should be given particular attention for school effectiveness. The established climate diagnosis appraisal computed by fuzzy DEMATEL-based ANP can be extended to other school regions for systematically developing school climate based on contextually specific needs and concerns. Future research studies are expected to provide incremental and value-added contributions to the competitive advantages of Taiwan's junior high school education.

Literature Review

The literature review is organized as follows: First, the development and psychometric validation of “Organizational Climate Diagnostic Instrument for Junior High Schools” (OCDI-JH) in Chinese language used in Taiwan (Tang & Lee, 2021), DEMATEL-based ANP, namely a hybrid Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach to detect independent/dependent, reciprocal, interdependent or inner-dependent correlations among factors of the system under investigation.
