The Effect of Organizational Climate to Employee Engagement in a Private Educational Institution

Abstract

Many structures have been investigated over the years as possible predictors of work involvement, some have been important and others have not been so important. In this context, one particular structure that has received little attention is the organizational climate. Thus, this study was conducted to explore the effect of organizational climate to employee engagement in a private educational institutional setting. The study used a descriptive research design involving 105 regular faculty of the tertiary department of a private tertiary school for the 2^nd Semester of SY 2019-2020. This study used a modified questionnaire as a data gathering tool. The results of the study showed that the private tertiary school has a very good organizational climate in terms of rewards and clarity but poor in terms of flexibility, responsibility, and standards. Nonetheless, the results proved that the employees of the private tertiary school are very highly engaged in their respective jobs. Furthermore, the results proved that overall Organizational Climate affects employee engagement. Among climate dimensions, only clarity and rewards significantly affect employee engagement. The better the climate in terms of the two dimensions, the higher the level of employee engagement.
