Summary/Abstract: If by 1989, education organizations were centrally managed, subjected to some rules and regulations clearly stated, with the transition to a democratic society, which has led to major legislative changes, the educational system and thus the school organizations have lost priority in society, flexing itself the internal regulations (increased rights of participants to the educational act, the reduction and elimination of coercion and sanctions, the introduction of alternative disciplines and study materials, and so on). Thus, although in the book The school - socio-pedagogical approach, Emil Păun defined educational organization as a system of activities structured around certain ends (goals, objectives) explicitly formulated, which involves a large number of individuals who own statuses and roles well defined in a differentiated structure, with management roles and coordination of activities, today were embrittled the trainers and managers positions in educational organizations. Globalization, global economic crisis that led to social values mutations, media and rampant technological evolution destabilized the climate of educational organizations and have allowed the diversification of conflicts in this environment.
