Abstract
This study was conducted during 2005-06 in Belgaum district of North Karnataka to assess the
organizational climate perception by VOs and VLIs of Karnataka State Department of Animal
Husbandry and Veterinary Service (Ah & VS)
Organizational climate perception was measured by using a scale, which consisted of 28
items representing seven dimensions of organizational climate viz.., communication, decision
making, programme planning and implementation, supervision and guidance, organizational
structure and personnel management. The VOs and VLIs were selected in proportion to their
number in the field to form a sample of 100. The data were collected by using personal
interview. The collected data were analyzed using frequencies and percentages, t-test and simple
correlation.
Majority of VOs (55%) and 45.0 percent of VLIs perceived the organizational climate as
favorable. Whereas, the most favorable perception was observed with only 15.0 percent VLIs
and 34.0 percent VOs. On the country, less favorable perception was noticed with more number
of VLIs (40%) as compared to VOs (11%). Further, there existed a significant difference
between means of organizational climate perception of VOs and VLIs.
Age, job experience, job involvement and job satisfaction had positive and significant
association with organizational climate perception of Department of AH & VS by both VOs and
VLIs whereas, job stress had a negative and significant relationship with organizational climate
perception. The variables such as information seeking behavior, perceived work load and
availability of facilities and resources had shown non significant relationship in case of VOs
while, education, training and perceived work load had a non-significant relationship with the
level of organizational climate perception of VLIs
Provide adequate facilities, implement appropriate promotion scheme, increase the salary
and salary increments were major suggestions expressed by both VOs and VLIs to improve the
organizational climate of the department. In addition, VOs have suggested to fill the vacancies
and introduce the appropriate trainings to upgrade the knowledge and skill to improve the
organizational climate. The other suggestion expressed by VLIs was consider the subordinate
suggestions while developing and implementing the programmes.
