Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between organizational climate and job satisfaction among academic staff in selected private universities in Southeast, Nigeria. A survey design was employed using academic staff in the selected private universities. Data were collected using self administered questionnaire from the random sample of 182 academic staff of the selected private universities in Southeast Nigeria. The sample size was determined using convenience sampling technique. In this study, data were analyzed with Pearson correlation co-efficient. The results revealed there is a positive significant correlation between organizational climate and job satisfaction. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the organizational climate dimensions (leadership style andacademic freedom) and job satisfaction dimensions (satisfaction with administrative support and satisfaction with working conditions). This implies that dissatisfaction among academic staff will not only affect the quality of their work but also on the organizational climate. The study recommended that university management should ensure that all academics receive the necessary orientation and administrative support once they join the university. In the spirit of equality and fairness, university management should enhance the existing working conditions of academic staff to avoid having feelings of inequity, withdrawal and low morale.
