Perception of Psychosocial Aspects in Various Work Environments
Perception of Psychosocial Aspects in Various Work Environments

Summary/Abstract: This study presents comparative psychological analysis between work organizations from diverse ownership and activity in Republic of Macedonia. The sample consisted of 513 employees in 25 work organizations (private service, state-owned service, private production, and state-owned production orgs). WES Work Environment Scale (Moos, 1994.) was applied for estimate of social climate. The fundamental assumption that WES dimensions would discriminate significantly between work organizations owing to the type of organizational ownership and activity, was proved with the analysis of variance and discriminant analysis. Both analyses revealed the most favorable and the most efficient work environments embodied in the private service organizations owing to their high-quality social climate and the flexible structure. The other organizations were less- quality work settings especially the private production organizations. It was recommended the future research of organizational characteristics to include the social climate just so as the structure of any organization.
