Abstract

This study examined the organizational climate of four Divine Word Colleges in the SVD Northern Province, Philippines, as perceived by middle-level administrators, faculty, and employees, and its effect on employee morale and work behavior. A literature review provided a theoretical foundation for the investigation. Using a descriptive–correlational research design, data were analyzed through frequency counts, percentages, weighted means, ANOVA, and regression–correlation analysis. Results showed no significant differences in the perceptions of the three respondent groups regarding organizational climate. However, a highly significant relationship was found between organizational climate and employee morale, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. The findings underscore the crucial role of a positive organizational climate in promoting employee morale and effective work behavior. Further research incorporating additional variables is recommended for a more comprehensive assessment.
