Understanding organizational climate is a barometer for judging employees' sentiments about employer policies and practices to be more aligned with organizational goals and strategies. Unlike organizational culture, which is a fuzzier concept, organizational climate can be easily segregated into concrete categories with a direct relation to the measured outcomes (Parker et al., 2003). This flexibility makes it a vital variable for those in leadership positions, who can then measure the anticipated response for a new policy or change or even employees' responses to an existing policy's measures. Read "Leadership Snapshot: Nancy Dubuc" in the textbook and discuss how she incorporated the four factors of a constructive climate into her company and what impact you think this made for employees and the organization.
