Organizational context plays a pivotal role in shaping teachers’ behaviors, interactions, and professional development within schools. This study aimed to expand the Perceptions of School Context scale, by introducing five new dimensions to evaluate inclusive aspects of the organizational work environment. A total of 177 teachers from Italian schools participated, providing insights into their perceptions of inclusion processes, relationships, and organizational support. Results demonstrated significant correlations among the dimensions, highlighting the interconnected nature of organizational factors. ANOVA analyses revealed differences in perceptions based on role, employment status, and years of experience, emphasizing the influence of individual and contextual elements on organizational inclusivity. These findings underscore the importance of fostering collaboration, managing teacher workloads, and offering targeted training to enhance inclusivity and professional relationships in schools.
