The Relationship Between Informal Organization and Teachers Evaluation, From the viewpoint of students (Case Study the Students of Baghlan University)

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between informal organization and the evaluation of instructors from the perspective of students at Baghlan University. Methodologically, the research is descriptive–correlational and, in terms of purpose, it is an applied study. The research was conducted using a survey method, and simple random sampling was employed to select the participants. The statistical population consisted of all students of Baghlan University, totaling 5,252 individuals. Using Cochran’s formula, a sample of 385 students was selected. Data were collected through a researcher-made questionnaire. To ensure the scientific soundness of the instrument, content validity and construct validity were assessed. The reliability of the questionnaire was also examined, and the results showed an acceptable level of reliability, with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.831. The Pearson correlation coefficient further confirmed the validity and reliability of the research instrument. To analyze the relationship between the dimensions of informal organization, particularly the psychological indicators of informal groups, and the evaluation of instructors from the students’ perspective, descriptive and inferential statistical methods were employed. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used for data analysis. The findings indicate a relatively strong and statistically significant relationship between informal organization and the evaluation of instructors from the students’ perspective. The correlation coefficient (r = 0.566, p = 0.001) reveals a positive and meaningful relationship, suggesting that the activities and interactions of informal groups play an influential role in shaping students’ evaluations of teaching quality.
