اليقظة التنظيمية في مكاتب التعليم بمدينة مكة المكرمة وعلاقتها بالاستعداد للتغيير لدى المشرفين التربويين
The study aimed at identifying organizational Mindfulness and the level of readiness for change among educational supervisors in education offices in Makkah Al-Mukarramh. It examined the correlation between the level of availability of organizational vigilance and the level of readiness for change among male and female supervisors in education offices. The study, further, aimed at investigating the statistically significant differences among the supervisors' mean responses about their evaluation of the extent to which organizational vigilance is practiced in education offices attributed to the differences in the variables of gender and years of experience. Also, the study investigated whether there are statistically significant differences among the supervisors' mean responses about their evaluation of their readiness to change attributed to the variables of gender and years of experience. For data collection, researchers utilized quantitative method to achieve the objectives of the study, i.e. correlational. Two main scales were utilized (a) Weik and Sutcliffe's Organizational Mindfulness scale (2006) and Boukenooghe's scale of readiness for change (2009). The former is comprised of five dimensions (a) Preoccupation with Failure (PF) (b) Simplifying Procedures (SP) (c) Sensitivity to Operation (SO) (d) Commitment to Resilience (CR) (e) Deference to Expertise (DE). The latter is comprised of three dimensions: (a) Administrative Dimension (AD) (b) Cognitive Dimension (CD) (c) Emotional Dimension (ED). The research instrument was applied to the entire members of the study population (444) using the comprehensive inventory method. 216 male and female supervisors responded to the questionnaires at a rate of 48.6 % of the entire members of the study population. The results of the study showed that the level of organizational Mindfulness was generally high from the perspectives of both male and female supervisors in education offices in Makkah Al-Mukarramah. Likewise, the results revealed that the level of readiness for change among the male and female supervisors was high. The study found a significant direct correlation at the significance level of 0.01 between organizational Mindfulness and the level of readiness for change among male and female supervisors in education offices. The results revealed statistically significant differences among the teachers' mean responses on their evaluation of organizational Mindfulness and the level of readiness for change attributed to the differences in gender variable in education offices. However, the study found no statistically significant difference between the teachers' mean responses about their evaluation of the level of organizational Mindfulness and their level of readiness for change in education offices attributed to the variable of difference in years of experience. In the light of the results of the study, the two researchers presented important recommendations. Designing qualitative programs on readiness for change need to be developed targeting educational supervisors. Also, selection criteria of educational supervisors should be reconsidered to attract distinguished expertise. Selection should be experience-based. (Published abstract)
