Abstract

This study explores relationships between job-related tension, negative affect at work and organizational culture in educational organizations. It has been found that teaching staff assess job-related tension and negative affect at work higher than educational organization managers do. It also has been shown that power culture contributes to increasing tension in educational organizations, while person culture and task culture as well as the strength of organizational culture contribute to reducing tension and negative affect at work in educational organizations.

There were differences found between managers and teaching staff in assessing job-related tension in educational organizations (p < 0.01): the average scores of job-related tension given by teaching staff were higher (M = 2.38, SD = 0.74) than those given by managers (M = 2.09, SD = 0.55)
These differences can be explained by the fact that secondary school teaching staff do a complex intellectual and emotional work, which requires great effort including out-of-school activities, as well as they directly interact with school students and their parents, usually without proper material and moral rewards and having a much lower status than the educational organization managers

Organizational culture of education institutions has been intensely studied by western researchers. It has been analyzed in relation to the types of institutions, teaching staff’s
