Abstract
The present study examines organizational climate, organizational role stress and job satisfaction among organizational employees. The participants of the study consist of 120 employees working in different organizations in Mumbai. They were assessed by using Motivational Analysis of Organizations – Climate (MAO-C) by Pareek, Organizational Role Stress Scale (ORSS) by Pareek and Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) by Specter. Descriptive statistics (Mean and SD) and t-test were used to analyze the data. An independent sample t-test revealed a significant difference between employees with favourable and unfavourable organizational climate, on organizational role stress, t (118) = 1.68, p < .05, and on job satisfaction, t (118) = 11.96, p < .05. The findings indicate that employees with favourable organizational climate scored lower on organizational role stress and higher on job satisfaction than employees with unfavourable organizational climate. These trends suggest that the organizational climate does have an impact on organizational role stress and job satisfaction and enable organizations to acknowledge the need of favourable organizational climate at the work place.
