Perception of Agricultural Scientists about Prevailing and Desired Organizational Climate at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana

The study was conducted on 100 agricultural scientists of College of Agriculture, PAU, Ludhiana. Organizational climate scale was developed by using Likert technique in the areas of communication, managing rewards, interpersonal relationships, supervision and decision-making. For measuring organizational climate, different items were prepared in each of the area. Organizational climate was measured in terms of scores obtained by the agricultural scientists on organizational climate scale. The responses were recorded on a five point continuum. Based on the scores, the scientists were classified into three categories viz. average, below average and above average. Mean score of prevailing and desired organizational climate for each area was worked out. Paired t test was used to test the significance of difference in the mean scores. Significant value of t indicated that a gap between the prevailing and desired organizational climate exists. There is an urgent need to improve the organizational climate.
