Abstract
The controversial and even hostile climate of coexistence of many
schools formed a culture where prevailing values contrary to the stated vision
and mission. Therefore, the objective of the study was to describe the
responsibility and social solidarity as values of organizational culture in
Venezuelan schools. Methodologically, it was a descriptive research with field
design. The population was 200 subjects and sample of 74 members of staff
managerial, teaching, administrative and environmental support of three
schools. To gather information about the variables responsibility and social
solidarity a valid and reliable questionnaire was applied (79.7%, alpha of
Cronbach). As result it was found empirical evidence that 69% of the staff is
responsible and 40% is solidarity. In conclusion, the practice of organizational
values is not ideal or generalized because only some of its aspects are
practiced in addition that not all the staff practice them. Low solidarity makes it
difficult the coexistence, for the success and excellence of institutions.
