Abstract: Many scholars have paid widespread attention to the field of organizational characteristics. Studies have shown that there is a close relationship between organizational characteristics, organizational identification and the transformation of teaching methods. Although Han Xuesong (2007) found that organizational identification mediated the relationship between organizational characteristics and organizational performance, so far, no study explores relationship among the three variables systematically in a whole frame . Hence, in this study, we try to deep excavate the relationships among the three variables, and to further explore whether organizational identification plays a mediating role between organizational characteristics and the transformation of teaching methods. The 3 scales used in this study were as follows: ( a) Organizational Characteristics Scale. (b) Transformation of Teaching Methods Scale． (c) The Revision of Mael’s Organization Identification Questionnaire． The Cronbach α of the three questionnaires were .924, .862 and. 776 in this study.736 questionnaires were distributed in primary and middle school in Guangdong，627 of those were useful, and the usage rate was 85.2% ． Males took up 31.5% .Teachers in primary school took up 44.4% . The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the above measures were from . 776 to . 924，indicating satisfactory measurement reliabilities. Structural equation modeling ( SEM) and mediation analysis were employed to test the hypotheses. Correlation analyses among organizational characteristics and its dimensions，organizational identification , teaching methods revealed that there were significant positive correlations between all the variables． The multivariate stepwise regression analysis suggested that organization reputation and organization culture were significant factors in predicting organization identification and teaching methods． Based on correlation and multivariate stepwise regression analysis，we established a relational model of organizational characteristics ,organizational identification and teaching methods . The results revealed that: ( 1) Organizational characteristics had a salient positive relationship with organizational identification( β =0. 46，p ＜ 0. 001) and teaching methods ( β =0. 24，p ＜ 0. 001).Organizational identification had a salient positive relationship with teaching methods ( β =0. 46，p ＜ 0. 001); ( 2) Organizational identification fully mediated the relationship between organizational characteristics and teaching methods and the mediating effect is significant（ Z=5.80，p ＜0.001）．Based on the results ,maybe we can promote the transformation of teaching methods effectively through increasing the level of teachers' organizational identification attached to their schools.

Key words: organizational characteristics, organizational identification, teaching methods transformation

摘要： 摘 要 采用问卷法调查法，以广东省627 名中小学教师为被试,以结构方程模型考察组织特征、组织认同与教学方式转变的关系。结果表明：（1）组织特征能显著正向预测组织认同和教学方式转变，组织认同能显著正向预测教学方式转变。（2）组织认同在组织特征影响教学方式转变中起完全中介作用。这启示我们可以通过提升教师对他们所属学校的组织认同水平有效地促进其教学方式的转变。
