Abstract | This article proposes Hackman and Oldham's (1980) model of work group design to structure parent groups for involvement in school activities and decision making. Parent interviews from three studies of parental involvement provide examples to support this proposal. Participants in these studies described experiences working in groups. Parents' comments about satisfying experiences met the model's criteria for effectiveness; frustrating experiences met criteria for ineffectiveness. This article describes characteristics of parent work groups according to the model's key design features. Structuring parent groups using this model would establish positive relationships in the school community while increasing benefits of parental involvement in schools. Principals may play a key role in creating and maintaining parent groups. (As Provided). |
