Quality Management in Adult Education Organisations
The manifold discourses on the quality of continuing education organisations are closely related to processes of social change. However, it is unclear to what extent the effectiveness or integration of quality management systems in continuing education organisations in Germany is influenced by organisational contexts. This study used the neo-institutional concepts of organisational fields and loose coupling as a theoretical basis to address this research gap. Based on the 2017 wbmonitor survey, this study examined and differentiated effectiveness attributions by their organisational springs with a variance analysis. The results showed tighter couplings for the "organisation" impact factor, medium couplings for the "pedagogy" impact factor and rather weak or loose couplings for the "personnel" and "economy" impact factors. The fields for the "organisation" factor significantly differed from each other. There were no significant differences for the "pedagogy", "personnel" and "economy" factors.
