Project On Organization Climate
Project On Organization Climate
Organizational climate is comprised of mixture of norms, values, expectations, policies and procedures that influence work motivation, commitment and ultimately, individual and work unit performance. Positive climate encourages, while negative climates inhibits discretionary effort. Organizational climate refers to the quality of working environment. If people feel that they are valued and respected within the organization, they are more likely to contribute positively to the achievements of the business outcomes. Creating a healthy organizational climate requires attention to the factors which influence employees perceptions, including the quality of leadership, the way in which decisions are made and whether the efforts of employees are recognized. In fact Climate may be thought of as the perceptions of the characteristics of an organization. Climate for an organization is somewhat like the personality for a person. Just as every individual has a personality that makes each person unique, each organization has an organizational climate that clearly distinguishes its personality from other organization. Every organization is different and has a unique feeling and character beyond its structural characteristics. Thus every organization deals with its member in a distinct way through its policies on allocations of resources, communication pattern, reward and penalty, leadership and decision making style, etc. The organizational policy and conviction with regard to all these and a cluster of other related activities influence the feelings, attitudes and behavior of its members and results in the creation of the unique organizational climate. The content of organizational climate has varied widely and they include almost all the important aspect of organizations such as structure, communication, leadership, Conflicts, reward system, inter personal relationships organizational effectiveness, reasonability and so forth. It has been pointed out that the contents of the climate constructed by various researches overlap wit many other major concepts in
organizational behavior Glick, 1985). Such overlaps seems to have promoted researchers to raise the question how the concept of climate is different from other organizational variables, especially, structure and job satisfaction.
Affects Motivation, Productivity and Job satisfaction: Organizational climate can have a major influence on motivation, productivity and job satisfaction. Climate determines the action and it creates few expectations as to consequences. Employees expect certain rewards, penalties, satisfaction or frustrations based on the organizational climate and their expectations tend to lead to motivation as said in expectancy theory.
Contingency Relationship: There is a contingency relationship between climate and the organization. The climate of an organization is contingent upon the type of employees. The type related to employees education like technical workers, knowledge workers. For example, research institutes certainly want a climate different from that of a workshop or an office.
Social System: Organizational climate represents the entire social system of a work-group. It is clearly a system concept. There are two important aspects of climate: (1) workplace itself and (2) Personal treatment of Management. If employees feel satisfied while at work and if climate provides a sense of personal worth, it can be assumed that in that organization is favorable. Employees expect the management to feel and care about their needs and problems. If these two are favorable a good climate prevails in the organization. A high level of organizational climate is necessary for the development of organization. Good climate attracts good and efficient to the organization, who contribute to the productivity of the organization.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Organizational climate is a relative enduring characteristic of an organization which distinguishes it from other organization: (a) and embodies members collective perceptions about their organization with respect to such dimensions as autonomy, trust, cohesiveness, support, recognition, innovation and fairness: (b) is produced by members interaction; (c) serves as a basis for interpreting the situation; (d) reflects the prevalent norms, values and attitudes of the organizations culture; and (e) acts as a source of influence for shaping behavior. (Moran and Volkwein, 1992, p.2) Francese (1993) who examined the effect of climate in service responsiveness; Meudell and Gadd (1994) who studied climate and culture in short life organizations; and Vallen (1993) who was concerned about organizational climate and service staff burnout. Organisational cliate has much to offer in terms of its ability to explain the behaviour of people in the workplace. Ashforth (1985, p. 838) put forward the view that climate has the potential to facilitate a truly integrative science of organizational behaviour,. Schneider later discussed in terms of: The atmosphere that employees perceive is created in their organizations by practices, procedures and rewards Employees observe what happens to them (and around them) and then draw conclusions about the organizations priorities. They then sit their own priorities accordingly. (Schneider, 1994, p. 18) Schneider, Brief and Guzzo (1996, p.9) argue that sustainable organizational change is most assured when both the climate what the organizations, members experience and the culture what the organizations members believe the organization values change.

In the multiple measurement organizational approach james and jones cite forehand and Gilmer (1964) as defining organizational climate as a defining organizational climate as a set of characteristics that describe an organization and that (a) distinguish the organization from other organizations (b) are relatively enduring over time, and (c) influence the behavior of people in the organization. Schneider and Bartlett (1968) had proposed four organizational climate dimensions, Individual autonomy: based on the factors of the individual responsibility, agent interdependence, rules orientation and opportunities for exercising individual initiative. The degree of structure imposed upon the position: based on the factors of structure, managerial structure and the closeness of supervision. Reward orientation: based upon the factors of reward, general satisfaction, promotional-achievement orientation, and being profit minded and sales oriented. Consideration, warmth and support: based upon the factors of managerial support, nurturing of subordinates and warmth and support. In reviewing psychological climate as a set of perceptually based, psychological attributes Jones and James (1979) noted that the process reflected the developments that had occurred in the conceptualization of climate and the nature of its major influences. They propose that psychological climate: (a) refers to the individuals cognitively based description of the situation; (b) involves a psychological processing of specific perceptions into more abstract depictions of the psychologically meaningful influences in the situation; (c) tends to be closely related to situational characteristics that have relatively direct and immediate ties to the individual experience; and (d) is multidimensional, with a central core of dimensions that apply across a variety of situations(through additional dimensions might be need to better describe particular situations. (Jones and James, 1979, p.205)
14
Schneider and Hall (1972) describe climate as a global perception held by individuals about their own organizational environment. Schneider and Snyder (1975) further clarified the approach by defining climate as a summary perception which individuals form of (or about) an organization. For them it is a global impression of the organization.

RESEARCH METHODOLGY
RESEARCH DESIGN: The study is descriptive research study. The main purpose of descriptive research is description of the state of affairs as it exists at present. In the present study, descriptive method is used to study the prevailing organizational climate. DATA COLLECTION METHOD: The primary data was collected through a well structured questionnaire with close-ended questions measures at 5-point likert type scale and suggestion questions. Secondary data required for the project was collected from the company records and Internet. SAMPLING PLAN: Simple convenience sampling method is used. Sample size consists of 100 respondents.
STATISTICAL TOOLS: Simple percentage analysis and tabulation is used to analysis the data. Bar diagram is used to give pictorial representation to the analysis. The following test was used for the study. Standard deviation ANOVA
16
PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS: Percentage refers to a special kind of ratio. Percentage is used in making comparison about two or more series of data. Percentage as also used to describe relationship. It is also used to compare the relative terms dx of two or more series of data. Formula: Number of respondents x 100 Total no. of respondent STANDARD DEVIATION: Karl Pearson introduced the concept of Standard Deviation is 1893. It is the most important measure of dispersion and is widely used in many statistical formulae. It is defined as positive squares-root of the arithmetic mean of the squares of the deviations of the given observation from their arithmetic mean. The standard deviation by the Greek Letter (sigma) Formula:
( = X
x )
/N
ANOVA: The analysis of variance frequently referred to by the contraction ANOVA is a statistical technique specially designed to test whether the means of more than two quantitative populations are equal.
17
The analysis of variance technique developed by R.A. Fisher in 1920s diversified practical problems. Basically, it consists of classifying and cross classifying statistical results and testing whether the means of a specified classification differ significantly. In this way it is determined whether the given classification is important in affecting the results. In one way classifications the data are classified according to only one criterion. The null hypothesis is H0=M1=M2=M3=.MK. H1=M1=M2=M3=.....MK. To find the correlation factor: C.F = T2 Total number of items in the given data. To calculate the value of F:
F=
