Abstract:
A well-coordinated organization has to be designed according to its organizational dimensions. With this assumption, this study investigated the fits and misfits in the organizational dimensions of Bukidnon National High School (BNHS). The organizational dimensions explored in this study are: Organizational goals, strategy, environment, configuration, organizational complexity, geographic distribution, knowledge exchange, task design, people, leadership style, organizational climate, coordination and control systems, information systems and incentives. This study used mixed method research employing explanatory sequential design. Data were gathered through survey followed by an archival documentary analysis and in-depth interview. The data were then analyzed using Burton and Obel (2004) Multi-Dimensional Contingency Processing Step by step Approach, holistic approach, quadrant presentation and frequency. The findings revealed that there are organizational fits in the following dimensions: strategy, configuration, organizational complexity, geographic distribution, knowledge exchange, people, leadership style, coordination and control systems and incentives. Moreover, there were identified organizational misfits present in BNHS. Five misfits were recognized: goal, environment, task design, organizational climate, and information systems. BNHS fall under quadrant D type of organization. Thus, proposed changes were discussed to realign the misfits for the organization to function effectively and efficiently.
