Abstract

This study investigated the amount of agreement existing among school personnel in Iowa concerning the role of the superintendent in collective negotiations and the scope and structure of the collective negotiation process, Through the utilization of Q-methodology, two significant types or groups of school personnel were identified, each demonstrating a high degree of similarity in their attitudes towards collective negotiations. Identification procedures revealed that personnel predominantly from rural and urban school districts comprised one type, while personnel from the central city school districts made up the second type. Investigation of the pattern of responses led the investigator to label the first group Localites and the second group Metropolites.
