Özet:

A considerable amount of national and international evidence indicates that leadership and management teams, and especially school principals, can generate better teaching conditions. Thus, administrators have created economic incentive policies to improve, stimulate, and motivate teaching staff. Hence, the purpose of this study is to analyze three economic incentive policies designed by school leadership and management teams within three private- subsidized schools in Chile. The study implemented a qualitative methodology of case studies compared through the analysis of 6 in-depth interviews. The results show that management teams do not design plans but rather economic incentive policies in a collaborative way dependent on organizational goals and deficiencies. This study contributes to the understanding of economic incentives from the perspective of those who design and make decisions. This issue has not been addressed enough in the national and international literature.
