Introduction

Schools, colleges, universities and training institutions, may well be considered social organizations,
Students knowledge and skill development takes place in a system of complexity which involves
the interplay of several variables, it has its roots in the institutional variables described as
organizational styles. Institutions visualize their targets in their success variables such as performance
and growth levels of students and other employees. They focus on change in the human variables
to approach their targets. The principal or the head of the institution operates in an organizational
environment, from the authority base, in a specific way, in order to change staff attitudes or behaviours
and with the goal of increasing some dimensions of teaching effectiveness.
They too need to identify and pursue goals, react to stress, seek homeostasis, adapt maintain
themselves, internally, ensure survival, eliminate uncertainly and grow in size, power and experience
if they are to function effectively. Much human activity in these institutions is motivated by
administrative reaction to organization needs. Seemingly unaffected by conscious efforts to their
members they evolve, and readjust. An alternative to this reaction behaviour is preactive behaviour
(planned change) in which change takes place as a result of conscious efforts by individuals to
control the institution rather than to be controlled by the institution. Organizational needs of these
institutions are potent motivations of their upward movement and also of resistance to change.
Prective and superisory behaviour must operate within the limits set up by the institution.

is done by each individual. However, Organizing as a process of management essentially relates to
sub-dividing and grouping of activities.

objectives. When a teacher is teaching alone, there is perhaps no need of organizing. But organizing
becomes important when teacher are teaching in a team. In that case, it is important to determine
