behavioral model and must keep it flexible
and current.
Managers need to read, to reflect, to
interact with others, and to be receptive to
challenges to their thinking from their
colleagues and employees.
Employees in the organization keep studying the
management philosophy and various actions they take
to deal with organizational factors that are of a routine
nature.
These include the following:
ORGANIZATION CLIMATE
A. Selection Process of the employees.
B. Leadership style and approach to solve problems of the
employees.
C. Wage administration.
D. Attitude to implement change and incorporate latest
technology.
E. Job description.
F. Organizational structure and frequency to modify the
same based on need.
G. Performance evaluation.
H. Promotion policy and its implementation.
I. Efforts involved in promoting creativity and
innovations.
J. Availability of resources for research and development.
K. Organizational values and promotion of culture.
ORGANIZATION CLIMATE
(a) Overt factors
can be measured and fair
assessment can therefore be
made about the intentions of
the management and efforts
they are putting in to build an
appropriate organizational
climate.
• Hierarchy
• Goals of the organization
• Financial resources
• Skills and abilities of employees
•Technological state of the
organization
• Performance standards adopted
• Efficiency measurement
ORGANIZATION CLIMATE
(b) Covert factors
can not be quantified being of
subjective nature
• Values
• Attitude
• Norms
• Feelings
• Interaction
• Supportiveness
• Satisfaction
organizational climate is classified into two factors as under:
1) Objectives are widely shared by the members and there is
a strong consistent flow of energy toward those
objectives.
2) People feel free to signal their awareness of difficulties
because they expect the problems to be dealt with and
they are optimistic that these problems can be solved.
3) Problem-solving is highly pragmatic. In attacking
problems, people work informally and are not preoccupied
with status, territory, or second guessing ―what higher
management will think.‖ A great deal of non-conforming
behavior is tolerated.
4) The judgment of people lower down in the organization is
respected.
Characteristics Healthy Organizations

5) Collaboration is freely entered into. People readily
request the help of others and are willing to give in turn.
Ways of helping one another are highly developed.
Individuals and groups compete with one another, but
they do so fairly and in the direction of a shared goal.
6) When there is a crisis, the people quickly band together
in work until crisis departs.
7) Conflicts are considered important to decision-making
and personal growth. They are dealt with effectively, in
the open. People say what they want and expect others to
do the same.
Characteristics Healthy Organizations
8) There is a great deal of on-the-job learning based on a
willingness to give, seek, and use feedback and advice.
People see themselves and other as capable of
significant personal growth and development.
9) Joint critique of progress is routine.
10) Relationships are honest. People do care about one
another and do not feel alone.
11) People are ―turned on‖ and highly involved by choice.
They are optimistic. The work place is important and fun
(why not?).
12) Leadership is flexible, shifting in style and person to suit
the situation.
Characteristics Healthy Organizations
13) There is a high degree of trust among people and a sense
of freedom and mutual responsibility. People generally
know what is important to the organization and what isn’t.
14) Risk is accepted as a condition of growth and change.
15) ―What can we learn from each mistake?‖
16) Poor performance is confronted, and a joint resolution
sought.
Characteristics Healthy Organizations
17) Organizational structure, procedures, and policies are
fashioned to helped people get the job done and to
protect the long-term health of the organization, not to
give each bureaucrat his due. These procedures are also
readily changed.
18) There is a sense of order, and yet a high rate of
innovation. Old methods are questioned and often give
way to new ones.
Characteristics Unhealthy Organizations
1) Little personnel investment in organizational objectives,
except to top levels.
2) People in the organization see things going wrong and do
nothing about it. Nobody volunteers. Mistakes and
problems are habitually hidden or shelved. People treat
each other in a formal and polite manner that masks
issues—especially with the boss. Non-conformity is
frowned upon. People talk about office troubles at home
or in the halls, not with those involved.
3) People at the top try to control as many decisions as
possible. They become bottlenecks, and make decisions
with inadequate information and advice. People complain
about manager’s irrational decisions.
Characteristics Unhealthy Organizations
4) Managers feel alone in trying to get things done.
Somehow, orders, policies and procedures do not get
carried out, as intended.
5) The judgment of people lower down in the organization is
not respected outside the marrow limits of their jobs.
6) Personal needs and feelings are side issues.
7) People compete when they need to collaborate. They are
jealous of their area of responsibility. Seeking or
accepting help is unthought of they destruct each other’s
motives and speak poorly of one another, the manager
tolerates this.
8) When there is a crisis, people withdraw or start blaming
one another.
Characteristics Unhealthy Organizations
9) Conflict is mostly covert and managed by office politics
and other games, or there are interminable and
irreconcilable arguments
10) Learning is difficult. People don’t approach their peers to
learn from them, but have to learn from their own
mistakes; they reflect the experience of others. They get
little feedback on performance, and much of that is not
helpful.
11) Feedback is avoided.
12) Relationships are contaminated by marksmanship and
image-building. People feel alone and lack concerns for
one another. There is an undercurrent of fear.
