A Comparative Analysis of Organizational Climate Existing in System Program Offices in Different Phases of the Weapon System Acquisition Process.

摘要

Organizational climate is a relatively new concept that has come upon the social research scene. It can be conceptualized as the sum of all the different perceptions individuals in an organization have with respect to the organization. This study attempted to measure and assess the prevailing organizational climate in System Program Offices (SPOs) in different phases of the weapon system acquisition process. The researchers were interested in determining if organizational climate differed in different phases of weapon system acquisition.
