Abstract

Data were collected from 8,126 employees in a large government service agency using an anonymous survey measuring 19 different aspects of organizational culture and climate. Correlation indicated positive and significant associations for the measure of Job Satisfaction on the survey with all remaining measures. The measures of culture most strongly related to scores on Job Satisfaction were Empowerment and Involvement, and Recognition. Measures of climate most strongly associated with scores on Job Satisfaction were Communication, followed by Goals, Creativity and Innovation, and Decision-making. Results are discussed in terms of their practical and meaningful relevance to organizational effectiveness.
