- Description
- There is a perception that SMTs are not effective in some schools in South Africa. Hence, a huge number of learners in the public schools, particularly in high schools are not getting a good pass in their matric exams. The ineffectiveness of SMTs in some schools results in poor performance, as evidenced in poor matric results ever since 1994 in Mount Frere District, since the end of the homeland system in South Africa. To this end, the study was conducted to analyse work environment factors that affect productivity of school management teams‟ in Mount Frere Education District. Therefore, 64 schools, which formed the sample in this study, were selected randomly from the target of 210 schools (population) in Mount Frere District of Education. It was revealed that the following factors are central to the ineffectiveness of SMTs: lack of knowledge, skills, behaviours and attitudes, Human immune deficiency virus (HIV); redeployment; teachers‟ absenteeism and non-availability and mismanagement of resources. Consequently, the researcher employed quantitative research method to explore the work environment of SMTs in Mount Frere District of Education. To collect data from the SMTs, the SMT Productivity Questionnaire (SPQ) and the SMT performance appraisal form (SPAF) were used. The results were analysed using descriptive statistics like frequency count, percentages, charts and tables, and inferential statistics of Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC). It was discovered that the work environmental factors as espoused by the literature, negatively affect the performance or productivity of SMTs. The findings in the data analysis prove beyond reasonable doubt that redeployment of educators negatively affects the productivity of School Management Teams in various schools. In other words, the study confirmed the literature.
