Organizational Culture and Organizational Climate as a Determinant of Motivation

Abstract

Organizational climate has a potentially rich, but largely unrealized role in the development of an organization as well as to raise the motivation of employees. Researchers perceive problems arising from significant culture and different climate affecting the management and motivational level among the employees. The study examines the influence of organizational culture and climate on the motivation level among 100 adult employees working in Ranbaxy with the help of various questionnaires. In particular, organizational climate factors include environment, team work, management effectiveness, involvement, reward and recognition, competency and commitment. These factors have been found to influence the motivation and viewed as a multidimensional construct. The study is based on the non-probabilistic cum convenience sampling techniques. The results indicate that all eight variables are positively related to the motivation. It also tries to explain that to improve the motivation level among employees one must try to improve the organizational culture and climate.
