The role of climate at the individual and organizational levels in the perception of the organizational environment

Abstract

Climate plays an important role not only for achieving organizational goals, but also largely determines the quality of human life. Climate can become a powerful tool of managerial influence and contribute to the productivity of both members of the organization and the organization as a whole. The article considers the features of climate at two levels - organizational and individual, presents the views of scientists on the definition of psychological and organizational climate. The authors characterize the features of climate formation in the organization and determine its impact on the perception of the organizational environment by its members. It was concluded that the formation of the psychological climate is the perception of the organizational environment by the individual through the motivational, personal and emotional significance of the organization for the person. The team in which a person works, personal values and individual characteristics are also important factors in the perception of the organizational environment. In turn, the study of existing points of view led to the conclusion that the psychological climate affects the motivation, productivity, satisfaction, and emotional state of a person. Depending on personal characteristics and needs, the factors of psychological climate formation will have different weight for a particular person and, accordingly, the perception of the organizational environment will differ significantly, since the situations arising in the organizational environment are perceived differently by each person.
