PERCEPTIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE AS A FUNCTION OF EMPLOYEES' BACKGROUND ATTRIBUTES: EVIDENCE FROM JORDANIAN INDUSTRIAL ORGANIZATIONS

Abstract

This study explores the differences in climate perceptions according to employees' demographic (age, gender, marital status, and education) and organizational (tenure, position, and pay) background patterns. In order to achieve this goal, self‐administered questionnaires were distributed to 400 subjects in Jordanian manufacturing organizations. Usable answers were obtained from 297 subjects. The results of the study showed that the background of employees (with the exception of gender) were found to account for significant differences in the perception of several dimensions of climate.
