INTRODUCTION Education has a major role in society; children learn societal and cultural norms, values, and are taught how to be active and productive members of a society. According to Kirk and Gallagher (1983), education reflects society, demonstrating its culture's core beliefs, as well as its strengths, faults, hopes, and biases. Thus, there is no doubt that education contributes to the growth of individuals and nations. The success of educational institutions highly depends upon the vital elements of school organizations. Many factors contribute to the effective performance of school organizations. One significant factor affecting school performance in catering quality education services is organizational climate. Positive organizational climate is one key element in the question of quality education. A school is perceived to be successful by its teachers and students when the school head is focused on creating a climate conducive to success (MacNeil, Prater, & Busch, 2009). Furthermore, organizational climate is the element of a professional environment that has a strong influence on the action and performance of the employees working in the workplace. It reflects the perceptions that an employee has about his work environment. (Bhasin, 2020)
