چکیده انگلیسی:
The main purpose of this study was to examine the instructors’ and principals’ perceptions (elementary, secondary, and high schools) regarding the application of TQM in educational systems for creating innovation, improving work process, and understanding the relationship between TQM and creating a supporting environment for innovation in Shiraz educational zones. A Likert scale questionnaire with verified validity and reliability was developed by the researcher to collect the data of the study. Out of a population of 12577, 1420 instructors and principles were selected by employing stratified random sampling. Pearson correlation was then used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed that, there were strong relationships between the independent variables (autonomy, communication, flexibility, supportive management and participation) and technological innovation (r = 0.735). Furthermore; there was a strong relationship between technological innovation and innovation in organization (r= 0.769). This relationship was intensified when considering the influence of TQM culture. Based on the findings of the study, TQM can perform as a philosophy of management and organizational culture for creating and improving Innovation in educational organizations.
