Climate Discrepancy: Refining the Concepts of Psychological and Organizational Climate
研究了员工个人心理气候与组织中多个聚合气候之间的差异，发现气候差异更能预测工作满意度，而聚合气候更能预测工作绩效，为精细化这两个概念提供了依据。
Most climate research has emphasized either psychological or organizational climate without addressing the conceptual and empirical relationships between these concepts. This research e-xamined the performance and satisfaction correlates of discrepancies between individuals' psychological climates and the multiple aggregate organizational climates present in their work settings. Climate discrepancy was found to be the better predictor of work satisfaction, whereas membership in aggregate organization climates was the better predictor of job performance. Organization climates were identified on the basis of similarity of multidimensional psychological climate scores using hierarchical and nonhierarchical clustering methods. The implications of thesefindingsfor refining the concepts of psychological and organizational climate are discussed.
