Assembling Fragments Into a Lens: A Review, Critique, and Proposed Research Agenda for the Organizational Work Climate LiteratureDepartment of Management and Organizations, Cox School of Business, Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX, mkuenzi{at}cox.smu.edu
Department of Management, College of Business Administration, University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL Work climates exert an important influence on organizations and the people who work in them. For more than half a century, scholars have sought to understand their antecedents and consequences. However, in recent years, this literature has become fragmented and somewhat adrift. This article attempts to remedy this by reviewing existing research related to organizational work climates and providing a review and critique of the current state of knowledge. Furthermore, the authors seek to assemble the individual pieces into a unified lens capable of identifying overarching themes and challenges facing researchers. Finally, the authors turn this lens to the future, so as to provide a clearer view of some promising avenues for research opportunities and potential for reintegrating the field.
Key Words: organizational climate • work climate • psychological climate • organizational context • work environment • person-situation interaction
