Organizational climate for productivity as a predictor of organizational productivity (culture)

This study examined the existence of organizational climate for productivity and its relationship to productivity criteria. 150 subjects in a large financial institution were asked to complete the Litwin and Stringer (1968) Organizational Climate Survey, the Smith, Kendall, and Hulin (1969) Job Descriptive Index, and Porter, Steers, Mowday, and Boulian (1974) Organizational Commitment Survey, and the herein developed Organizational Productivity Survey. Data collected from organizational archives included measures of turnover, salary, tenure, education, age, race, gender, and job performance. Organizational Climate for Productivity showed unique prediction to factor scores created on the productivity criterion from commitment, job satisfaction, and omnibus organizational climate. Age, tenure, and education were shown to account for a small amount of variance climate for productivity. Subsystems were formed on some aspects of climate for productivity / acase@tulane.edu
