climate as favourable. Whereas, the most favourable perception was observed with
only 34.00 percent VOs and 15.00 percent VLIs. On the contrary, less favourable
perception was noticed with relatively high percentage of VLIs (40.00%) compared
to VOs (11.00%). Further, it was observed that there was significant difference
between mean values of the organizational climate perception of VOs (106.6) and
VLIs (96.25). Age, job experience, job involvement and job satisfaction had positive
