| | Organizational Climate Perceptio |
| | Those who study organizational climate and employee satisfaction would be advised to focus their attention on the use of Bolman and Deal’s (1991b, 1997, 2003) four-frame organizational theory, and how organizational behavior and characteristics might be related to yielding a committed and loyal workforce, resulting in a successful organization. | | | Thus, the significance of a balanced organizational climate cannot be overstated in terms of the benefits yielded as a result of the harmony between an organization and its members. | | | In sum, if organizational satisfaction and success are associated with four-frame-related factors such as teamwork (human resource), guidance (structural), trust (symbolic), and autonomy (political), one would expect that an organizational climate encompassing the four frames in a multi-frame or balanced view would yield such results. |
