There is a lack of understanding of the concept of organisational show and its relation to school ineffectiveness, - There is a need to investigate the impact of organisational show on school effectiveness
To reduce the negative effects of organizational show, pressure from higher authorities must be eased and school needs prioritized. Planning activities with a focus on content and quality rather than visibility will increase teacher and student motivation. Projects and activities should be based on voluntary participation, eliminating the perception of drudgery and serving genuine academic and social development. 2026, Journal of Theoretical Educational Sciences - Kuramsal Eğitimbilim Dergisi 19(2), 232-267 Organisational Show… 261 Furthermore, healthy communication and cooperation between administrators and teachers should be strengthened, with the goal of preserving school culture and ensuring sustainable success. Ensuring that supervision is sound and effective is one of the key tools for reducing or preventing organizational show. Another factor that could be effective in reducing organizational show may be through school principals who take on leadership roles rather than managerial ones. School leaders should create a compelling vision and ensure that the school's vision is aligned with that of the teachers. In addition, teachers should be involved in decision-making processes regarding tasks and procedures that exceed their roles. A good school leader should foster a culture of harmony within the school and periodically inform employees of organizational goals.
The study suggests the need for further research on the development of comprehensive training programs and practical support mechanisms to enhance teachers' professional growth and strengthen school leaders' capacities.
