1 - Introduction
This is a report on the study of ‘Organisational Climate of
Professional Colleges.’ Organisational climate is comprised of a
mixture of norms, values, expectations, policies and procedures
that influence work motivation, commitment and ultimately
individual and work-unit performance. It refers to the quality of
working environment. Creating a ‘healthy’ organizational
climate requires attention to the factors which influence
employees’ perceptions including the quality of leadership, the
way decisions are made and whether the efforts of the
employees are valued.
1.1 Purpose of the study
The studies investigate the link between organisational
climates with corporate performance. It is hypothesized that a
positive climate will encourage and improve performance, while
a negative climate will discourage and inhibit performance.
Professional colleges such as those training students in the
fields of medicine, engineering, management, pharmacy,
architecture etc, are responsible for developing these students
into high quality professionals who will then be responsible for
the future nation. To achieve this, it is therefore necessary to
ensure that the faculty members – the employees mainly the
lecturers must be satisfied with the organisational institute
within which they work.
1.1.1 Related studies
It is important to mention that there have been many studies
examining organisational climate and its affect on performance
over the past three and a half decades. The findings of such
studies can provide management with evidence for them to
consider whether or not to make changes within their
organisation. Such studies include:

in different ranges
• Average mean scores of items related to specific factors
are also calculated to find conclusions. It is also used to
compare different demographic details of employees
• According to Z-Test a sample above 30 is considered as
large so the Z-Test proportion is used for the analysis of
data.

3. Conclusion
Organisational Climate studies the employees' perceptions and
perspectives of an organization. The surveys address attitudes
and concerns that help the organization work with employees
to instil positive changes. Organisational climate surveys
increase productivity. Climate surveys give employees a voice
to assist in making desired transitions as smooth as possible. It
also serves as a basis for quality improvements. By identifying
areas of inefficiency and acting on performance barriers
identified by employees of all levels, an organization gains a
fresh and different perspective. Survey analysis identifies areas
of employee satisfaction and dissatisfaction to facilitate
management in the creation of greater workplace harmony
and, therefore, increased productivity.
The aim of this study was to examine the present
organisational climate of professional colleges at the Indore
District. The study was based on the recognition that a good
healthy organisational climate affects employee’s performance.
Once an investigation is complete then suggestions for
improvement can be made. The research also implies that
Page

professional colleges have a responsibility towards its
performance in producing and developing students into
responsible professionals of the future which in turn will affect
the nation. The research was based on primary data collection
using questionnaires. It can be argued here that the main
limitation of this study was its sample size because it only
focused on the Indore District of randomly selected professional
colleges. The research was also limited to teaching faculty
employees of these colleges. The Z-Test was also the only
method used for the assessment of the answers to give the
mean score. On completion of the research survey conducted
at the Indore District Colleges; it is concluded that 60% of the
faculty members of the professional colleges are satisfied with
the climate of their organisation. The factors that determine a
healthy climate such as: development of employees,
leadership, recruitment & selection, training, cooperation,
innovation, commitment, trust and performance appraisal all
received higher score ratings as either very good or good. The
factors regarding; decision-making, communication and
counselling, physical facilities and social security and
reward received a mixed response from inadequate, poor and
satisfactory. These are the main areas of concern for the
organisations to improve on. As previous studies have shown
the importance of organisational climate has a direct link with
corporate performance. . Conclusions are drawn from this data,
and recommendations are made to the management team.
4. Recommendations
• 4.1 Decision Making
Top management should devote enough time to its
colleges so that its members can themselves be included
in the decision-making process. This can result in
motivation for employees. Providing more responsibility to
its faculty members to contribute to the decision making
process is one of the key factors to establishing a good
organisational climate. If an employee is involved in the
decisions and choices for the future of the organisation
Page

then they are more likely to participate in achieving those
decisions that have been made.
• 4.4 Reward
55% employees feel that there are not enough ways to
regard good work done by them; they should be rewarded
in as many as possible ways. All financial and non-financial
ways should be used so that the employees feel motivated
for further good work. It will also work as motivation for
others.
