The aim of this thesis was to establish what constitutes productivity in South African schools, and to make recommendations to assist schools on their journey to higher levels of productivity. The historical background, problems and changes in South Africa, coupled with the lack of current research in the field made it imperative for further research to be done in the field to identify current tendencies linked to productivity within the South African school context. A literature study was undertaken to gather background and to explore various aspects linked to productivity within a school. The literature study revealed that productivity improvement does not just happen, but that management leadership and the effectiveness of the individual educator is vital to continually increase productivity in South African schools. The information gathered from the literature study was also used to develop guidelines for productivity, which can be implemented in school's to achieve higher levels of productivity. An empirical study was undertaken. A standard questionnaire was used to elicit opinions of respondents in the teaching profession on aspects which lead to/make a school productive. Their responses to the questionnaire were discussed and analysed by means of multivariate and univariate statistical analyses.Forty-one items (41) from section B of the structured questionnaire were subjected to two successive factor analytical procedures. The first order procedure resulted in five (5) first order factors. Factor one (20 items) was named the pivotal role of the principal, with a Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of 0,9619. Factor two (14 items) was dubbed the expectations of educators on learner achievement with a Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient of 0,9054. Factor 3 (two items), 4 (3 items), and 5 (2 items) had a Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients below 0,750 and were left out of the analysis and discussion of section B of the questionnaire. The first order factors were again subjected to two successive factor analytic procedures, which resulted in only one factor of 41 items, named aspects influencing productivity in schools. However, because two of the first order factors had such high Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients it was decided to use them in all statistical analyses. Factor 1 the pivotal role of the principal in a productive school and factor 2 the expectations of educators on learner achievement were used in all statistical analyses as they formed the basis of the factors underlying a productive school. The following key components thus emanated from this research as necessary for schools to enhance productivity, namely:• the pivotal role of the principal in a productive school; and • the expectations of educators on learner achievement in a productive school. The research confirmed that productive schools focus their resources and energies on learners and learning. It also became evident that increased productivity is an important objective that should be strived for in all enterprises. The research substantiated that schools in South Africa are in search of higher levels of productivity. It also revealed that the school's potential is largely dependent upon the.
