Organizational culture which has emerged as a sub-field of organizational behavior is observed to be decisive on many aspects of behavior such as employees’ motivation, performance, burnout, commitment and socialization. All this shows that organizational culture and related organizational outcomes are multidimensional and multivariate. The research also points to the importance of organizational culture for school organizations that play an important role in the reproduction of social relations. However, it is thought that there is a need to make ethnographic and qualitative studies  pointing out how social relationships are produced within the school culture    in contrast to the studies which fail to go beyond the the mainstream studies. ÖzetÖrgütsel davranışın bir alt çalışma alanı olarak ortaya çıkan örgüt kültürünün, çalışanların motivasyonları, performansları, tükenmişlikleri, bağlılıkları ve sosyalleşmeleri gibi daha birçok davranışları üzerinde belirleyici olduğu gözlenmektedir. Bütün bunlar örgüt kültürü ve ilişkili olduğu örgütsel sonuçların çok boyutlu ve değişkenli olduğunu göstermektedir. Yapılan araştırmalar, toplumsal ilişkilerin yeniden üretiminde önemli bir rol oynayan okul örgütleri için de örgüt kültürünün önemine işaret etmektedir. Bununla birlikte, ana akım çalışmalarının dışına çıkmayan bu çalışmaların aksine okul kültürü içinde toplumsal ilişkilerin nasıl üretildiğini ortaya koyan etnografik ve nitel çalışmalara gerek olduğu düşünülmektedir.

She organizes previous research on telework into six major thematic concerns relating to the definition, measurement, and scope of telework; management of teleworkers; travel-related impacts of telework; organizational culture and employee isolation; boundaries between “home” and “work” and the impact of telework on the individual and the family. Areas for future research are suggested.
