Abstract :

The word organisational climate appeared in journal articles and organisational behaviour textbooks around 1975. But surprisingly, it was used interchangeably with another closely related domain in behavioural science called organisational culture. The growth, prosperity and future of any nation depend on the availability and quality of higher education. Success of higher education system depends on a range of factors like availability of qualified faculty members, infrastructure, transportation facilities, pedagogy used, etc. But only with a good academic climate all these factors can survive and thrive. The present study was conducted among 100 engineering college faculty members in Coimbatore. From factor analysis performance related factor, management factor, achievement motivation factor, human resources factor and rules and policies factor were identified as the constructs of organisational climate. From correlation analysis it was found that performance factor and management factors correlate significantly with job satisfaction of the respondents.
