Backstage. There is a shortage of socio-psychological research devoted to the systematic consideration of the problem of teachers' attitude to changes in modern schools at three levels: organizational, interpersonal and individual-personal.
Objective of the study is to identify the interrelationships of change response styles with teachers' perception of organizational culture and conflicts in the school.
Methods. A questionnaire survey was conducted in a remote format using an online platform. Used: the questionnaire "Change response styles", "Methods of diagnosing the organizational culture of the school", the method "Conflicts in the educational environment".
Sample. The study involved 66 teachers of senior classes of secondary schools and lyceums in several regions of Russia (Zarechny city, Penzenskaya oblast; Lesnoy city Sverdlovskaya oblast; Novouralsk, Sverdlovskaya oblast).
Results. Teachers with a conservative change response style prefer a traditional stable environment and are focused on a resultive organizational culture of the school; they estimate the frequency of conflicts between teachers and pupils at school with the involvement of parents lower. Teachers with an innovative response style strive for constant progress and innovation and are guided by the innovative culture of the school; a positive correlation was revealed with the assessment of the frequency of conflicts between teacher and pupil with the participation of a parent. Teachers who are representatives of the reactive change response style have a hard time adapting to any type of change, prefer the role culture of the school; there is a positive relationship with the degree of emotional discomfort caused by several types of conflicts involving the teacher. Teachers with a realizing response style flexibly adapt to various changes and prefer innovative and family types of school culture; they have a negative relationship with emotional discomfort from conflicts involving the teacher.
Conclusion. The results obtained allow us to determine the perspective of further steps of the author's team, which consists in building a three–way model of the educational space "school ― pupil ― family" with the inherent properties of a systemic self-developing object.

This article reports the results of empirical research, dedicated to the features of the relationship between perceived corporate culture and employee’s organizational identification. The influence and the nature (a moderator or a mediator) of the variable “person-organization fit” were studied. Participants were 92 employees of for-profit companies. The data was mathematically processed using a correlation analysis and a partial correlation analysis. The data indicate that the person-organization fit (as a moderator) influenced the relationship between perceived corporate culture of open paradigm and organizational identification. Thus, the person-organization fit is an intermediate variable that affects the direction and/or strength of the relation. This suggests that the more employees believe that his values fit the organizational ones, which characterize the open paradigm, the more he will identify with it. It may be assumed that the revealed relationship is bilateral, because, probably, these two variables determine each other. A further perspective of this research area is to clarify the obtained findings and to check other variables, which can influence given interrelation.
