Abstract

The psychological climate of the workplace is viewed as one of the most important environmental factors affecting an individual's workplace attitudes. At the same time, a favourable climate in the absence of organizational commitment can be a source of misuse of workplace freedom by individuals. The present article attempts to study the mediating role played by organizational commitment between psychological climate as the antecedent of job involvement and organizational citizenship behaviour. Data for the present study were collected from manufacturing as well as service sector organizations from all over India. The results and their theoretical and practical implications are discussed in detail.
