ABSTRACT: Based upon the
theoretical research and educational practice on school organizational climate
at home and abroad, the structural factors of organizational climate in
universities were theoretically conceived. The deep interview and self-report
questionnaires were adopted, and by using the analyses of exploring factors and
of verifying factors, the results show that organizational climate in
universities had four dimensions, i.e., administrative climate, teaching
climate, learning climate and interpersonal climate, with a total of 16
sub-factors. Results show that the scale of organizational climate in
university has good reliability and construct validity. It can be used as
assessment tools of organization climate in the university.
