Psychological climate benefits . . .

We can consider psychological climate as individual employees’ experiences of organizational climate. (I know there is a distinction.) Recent research in India by Biswas & Varma (2007) found that organizational citizenship behavior and job satisfaction mediated between psychological climate and employee performance. The survey questions and constructs are similar to ones in my investigation on social media and organizational climate.
I’m looking for opportunities for surveys in US firms to add to my surveys of MBA students. There is no conflict between research and theory on the one hand, and practical employee attitude surveys on the other.
