 Introduction | What is OH? | How is OH Measured? How Is Organizational Health Measured? The Organizational Health Instruments (OHI) consist of 80 item statements, eight for each of the ten dimensions. All members of a work unit respond to these questions. (To provide confidentiality of responses, data are collected in a group setting using a set of standardized data collection procedures.) Individuals respond to each question based upon their perceptions. Response choices are: Strongly Agree, Agree, Undecided, Disagree, and Strongly Disagree. Based upon these collective responses, raw scores are established for each of these ten dimensions. A line graph is created for each administrative unit, which contrasts the leader's perception with the composite view held by the work unit. The raw scores are converted into percentile scores. Each leader receives two profiles the first year: one contrasts the perceptions of the leader with the composite view of members of his/her work unit, and one is a percentile score which compares the unit with similar units across the country. During each of the following years, leaders also receive a percentile graph that contrasts the data from the previous year. With a national data base that spans more than two decades, OHDDC has established group norms for key leadership groups throughout the public and private sectors. For example, in the public school sector, group norms have been established for Elementary Schools, Middle Schools, Junior High Schools, Senior High Schools, Alternative Schools, Central Office Administrative Units, Superintendents, Policy Teams, Non-certified units, and School Community (parents' perception). top | back |
