Tyrimui atlikti buvo pasitelkta du standartizuoti testai: prof. G. Merkio mokslinės grupės sukurtas „Organizacijos klimato krizės“ ir Lietuvoje iki šiol nenaudotas „Darbinio streso“ testas, kurie atskleidė Pataisos namų X ir Tardymo izoliatoriaus Y darbinio streso ir organizacinio klimato būklę. Pateikiamos išvados, diskusijos ir literatūros sąrašas. Išanalizavus tyrimo duomenis, dalinai pasitvirtimo magistriniame darbe iškelta hipotez�� - „Laivės atėmimo įstaigose susiklostęs organizacinis klimatas yra nepalankus, aukštas darbuotojų patiriamas streso lygis, todėl reikalauja vadybinės intervencijos“. Norint tiksliai išanalizuoti organizacinį klimatą bei darbinio streso priežastis, rekomenduotina atlikti kokybinio testo analizę. / In this master degree work there is analyzed the theoretical connection between organizational climate and working stress, and done research in two statutional organizations.
