Objective:
The culture of planning in schools and achievement of predetermined goals and missions serve as the foundation for school-centered management. This research aimed at examining the effectiveness of the school-centered management model and environmental conditions on students’ academic performance, with the moderating role of ethical values.
Method:
The research method employed an exploratory mixed methods approach, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative elements. In the qualitative phase, the main and sub-factors of the school-centered management model were extracted using thematic analysis. Additionally, the quantitative phase utilized a descriptive-survey method. The data collection instrument in the qualitative phase consisted of semi-structured interviews. In the quantitative phase, a researcher-developed questionnaire was designed based on the research components, comprising 107 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale. The qualitative sample included 12 beneficiaries in the education system of Fars province, including managers, deputies, teachers, and other school staff. The sampling method was purposive and saturated. The statistical population in the quantitative phase consisted of managers, deputies, teachers, and other school staff in the education system of Fars province, and the sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan’s table (1970), amounting to 382 participants. Clustered multi-stage sampling was employed in this section.
Finding
The research questions were analyzed using Smart-PLS3 software. The results of the study indicated that ethical values have a positive impact on the performance of students’ educational content. Moreover, environmental conditions and school-centered management significantly and positively influence the performance of students’ educational content. Ethical values enhance the impact of environmental conditions on the performance of students’ educational content while reducing the impact of school-centered management.
Conclusion: Furthermore, the overall model fit is strong and acceptable (GOF=0.381).
