Using data collected from 34,866 retail service employees from 567 stores within a large national retail organization for whom 1985 climate survey data were available and 34,365 retail service employees from 567 stores for whom 1986 survey data were available, this study compared three primary climate perspectives: The social constructionist perspective, the multiple stakeholder perspective, and the general psychological climate perspective. The comparison of the seven first-order factor multiple stakeholder model and general psychological climate model indicated that the multiple stakeholder model provided a slightly better fit to the 1986 retail data set. The exploratorily derived nine first-order factor multiple stakeholder model again provided the most adequate explanation of the 1986 retail data set compared to the social constructionist or general psychological climate models. The implications of a multiple stakeholder perspective for extending conceptualizations of psychological climate are discussed / acase@tulane.edu
