Assessing the Organizational Climate in the Belgian Armed Forces

Abstract

We believe that the behavior of a person is determined by the interaction of person characteristics and situational factors, as pithily stated by Kurt Lewin with his formula B = f(P,S). So, work behavior is influenced by the perception the person has of several aspects of the organization he works for. Such organizational characteristics are - among others- equipment and its technological level of sophistication, but values, rules, decision making processes and coworkers behavior also are. Organizational climate is defined as the synthetic, collective perception of a set of relatively stable internal aspects of the organization as experienced and described by the members of that organization.
