This study investigated a general question related to whether or not teachers and principals differed in their perception of organizational climate. The question of leadership style of principals and its relationship to climate discrepancy constituted another consideration of the study. Additionally, the study investigated the relationship of participant role and school district size to climate discrepancy between teachers and principals. Major instruments used in the study were the McBer Motivational Style Questionnaire and Climate Survey Questionnaire. Participants in the study each received a copy of the Climate Survey Questionnaire and a general information form. Principals received in additional to the above instruments, a copy each of the Motivational Style Questionnaire. Responses to the CSQ were analyzed according to actual, ideal and discrepancy scores. All results from the CSQ were compared between teachers and principals as well as for each group by school district size. Teachers were found to differ significantly in their perception of organizational climate under ideal, actual and discrepancy conditions. No differences were found for principals under the same three sets of conditions. Discrepancy scores were significant for teachers within small, medium and large school districts. These same scores were significant for teachers between school districts only when medium school districts were eared to the other two sizes. Principal scores were significant neither within nor between school districts. Analysis of the research question pertaining to the relationship between climate discrepancy scores and leadership style was not possible due to the size and nature of returns of the MSO instrument. The N was too small for a valid comparison. Most of the returns came from principals in small school districts whereas none were received from principals in large school districts. Teachers and principals collectively, differed significantly in their perceptions of organizational climate. The same was not true when the two groups were compared within school districts with the exception of results for medium sized districts. Their between group scores were also significant only when medium was compared to small and large groups. Additional analysis was conducted which included the other group of participants comprised of assistant principals, guidance counselors and department chairmen. Actual, ideal and discrepancy climate scores were compared to role and school district size. Results indicated that under the three conditions, particular climate variables are affected by role and size. The climate variables standards and organizational clarity were found to be affected by size under actual, ideal and discrepancy conditions. Results of the analysis proved these differences to be significant at the .001 level of probability. No climate variables were found to be similarly affected by role under all conditions. However, role as well as size were found to affect individual climate variables when they were analyzed under single ideal, actual or discrepancy conditions.
