Description of the tool:
Organizational Climate Questionnaire:
The organizational climate questionnaire used for the study was
developed by Likert (1967). The questionnaire contains 18 items and

measures the 6 dimensions of organizational climate:


1. Leadership (items 1,2,3)
2. Motivation (items 4,5,6)
3. Communication (7,8,9,10)
4. Goal Setting (11,12,13)
5. Decision making (14,15)
6. Controls (16,17,18)
The responses indicate the degree to which the organization tends
towards a participative and human oriented as compared to an
automotive and highly structured climate.
The four management systems are as follows:
Explorative and authoritative
Benevolent
Consultative
Participative
Scoring :
The items are scored by adding the responses given by the individuals
in the response column. The total score for each of the dimension is
calculated. The total organizational climate score is the sum of the
scores of all the dimensions. A high score indicates that the
employees perceive the organization more favorably.
Standardization:
The questionnaire has been standardized for Indian population to suit
our culture by Patel (197.
Reliability :
The test-retest reliability co-efficient for the different dimensions
of organizational climate are as follows:
