It was generally perceived that the organizational climate is perceived equally by the all employees. Is there any significant mean difference on organizational climate score according the socio personal variable groups? The present study findings suggest that the majority of organizational climate dimensions were found to be significantly differed and the employees expectations were found to have been fulfilled in all formats.
