Organisational climate: A Comparative study of public & private banks in Bhubaneswar

This study aimed to (a) to assess dimensions of organizational climate of both public and private sector banks (b) to compare the organizational climate of both public and private sector banks (c) to suggest interventions for further improvement of the climate based on the findings. Motivational Analysis of Organizations Climate (MAO-C) developed by Prof Udai Pareek, a standardized questionnaire was used for a sample of 100. The findings show that ‘Expert Influence’ stands as the dominant variable and ‘Extension’ as the back-up variable in public sector banks. Again public sector banks’ functional climate ‘achievement’ is low and weak whereas, the dysfunctional climate ‘control’ is high and strong. Further ‘Affiliation’ stands as the dominant variable and ‘Achievement’ as the back-up variable in case of private sector banks. In the private banks, the functional climate of expert influence and extension are low and weak whereas the dysfunctional climate of affiliation is high and strong. Based on these findings, the suggestions are made to improve the environment of banks in both the sector.
