Abstract:
An investigation on organisational climate and job satisfaction of scientists in Kerala
Agricultural University was conducted involving 60 teachers and 44 researchers from two agricultural
colleges and four regional agricultural research stations. The findings indicated that a higher
proportion of the respondents perceived the organisational climate as facilitating and job satisfaction
as medium. "Problem solving" was perceived as the most important dimension of organistional
climate, while inter-persona I relationship remained the least perceived dimension. In
respect of job satisfaction the respondents were more satisfied with work itself and least satisfied
with working conditions. There was no significant relation between the selected demographicand
psychological variables, except the perception of work. However, the organisational climate was
signifcantly related to the job satisfaction of both teachers and researchers.
