Analysis

The analysis of the results from the SOCBS enables the understanding of the quality of organizational citizenship behavior within the school. The reliability and validity coefficients of the questionnaire are typically high, allowing its use in assessing individuals’ general attitudes and participation within the school environment. The analysis involves interpreting the data to categorize responses into various factors related to organizational behavior, such as collaboration with colleagues and voluntary participation in activities.

Objective

The objective of the SOCBS is to provide a detailed picture of organizational citizenship behavior in school environments, allowing researchers and administrators to identify areas that may require improvement. Through this assessment, the SOCBS aims to promote a positive school climate, enhance collaboration among educators, and support the overall well-being of the school.

Calibration

The calibration of the SOCBS usually involves the use of quantitative methods, such as factor analysis and statistical analysis of the responses. Each question is scored based on the intensity of the behavior recorded, and the results are categorized into scales that reflect the extent of organizational citizenship behavior. The scores can be compared against standard benchmarks or the scores of other schools to evaluate relative effectiveness.
