Investigating Organisational Climates in Jordanian Manufacturing Companies

Abstract

This research study is aimed at examining the concept of organisational climate in the context of Jordanian manufacturing companies. Organisational dimensions examined were: Structure, Responsibility, Reward, Risk, Warmth, Support, Standards, Conflict and Identity. In order to achieve the goals of the study, self administered questionnaires were distributed to a sample of 400 employees in Jordanian manufacturing companies. Usable questionnaires were obtained from a sample of 297 subjects. The research instrument was found to be reliable and its dimensions were independent of each other. Higher levels of Reward, Risk and Conflict and lower levels of Structure, Responsibility, Warmth, Support, Standards and Identity were found in Jordanian manufacturing companies.
