Abstract
Educational psychologist Alfie Kohn wrote, "People are most motivated when they are able to participate in making decisions about organizational goals" (p. 193). Although site-based management takes many forms-allowing schools and educators different degrees of authority-most site-based management programs share a common assumption: By increasing autonomy of the school staff and faculty to make decisions particular to their school, teachers will become motivated, schools will run more effectively; and, as a derivative students will enjoy a better learning. White (1989) posited that "The ultimate goal of site-based management is to improve the teaching and learning environments for students."
