Organizational Climate Annotated Bibliography
Abstract
Climate and culture are immensely complex and interactive. A deep understanding is necessary to affect change while improving long-term readiness. To assess and impact unit climate, more information is needed regarding the relationship between climate and culture, the complexities of measuring climate, and the application of climate research within a military context. This paper outlines some of the key findings in organizational climate literature, primarily focused on better understanding (a) what organizational climate is and how it differs from organizational culture; (b) what influences climate, and the processes to build and maintain facet-specific climates; and (c) the best strategies for measuring organizational climate. This paper will help inform on-going research on positive organizational climates, which has implications for developing assessment methods and training tools and for providing policy recommendations for the operational and institutional Army.
