Organisational Climate: Employee Perspective

Abstract

Organizational climate is regarded as a core predictor of employee behaviour and organisational success. The purpose of the study is to explore the most positive and negative dimensions of organisational climate in four banks in the Czech Republic from the point of view of their current and former employees. A quantitative content analysis of individual employee assessments of organisational climate was undertaken. Data were collected between January 2022 and April 2022 and included 796 respondents and 1713 individual references. Among the most frequent positively evaluated dimensions were Benefit and rewards, Teamwork, Training and development and Image of organisation. On the contrary, the most frequent negatively evaluated dimensions were Structure, Salary conditions, Access to subordinates and Employee wellness. Results of the Chi square test of independence indicated that there is a dependence between the evaluated dimension and the respondent bank and the evaluated dimension and employee status , however, this dependence is weak in both cases. The practical implications and limitations of this study are discussed.
