JOB SATISFACTION – A PREDICTOR OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
JOB SATISFACTION – A PREDICTOR OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Summary/Abstract: In this paper we aim to analyse the specifics of the relationship between organizational climate and the degree of job satisfaction for employees in public administration; the analysis is valid within a socioeconomical context dominated by the overturning of values and a very liberally understood freedom of expression. The most important result of the research shows us that an organizational climate where effective leadership, harmonious communication and positive relationships prevail fosters a high level of overall job satisfaction in employees from the administrative system. Also, we note the existence of a ‘community culture’ within the administrative system which reveals the high degree of sociability and communication, the wide spectrum of relationships established at interpersonal level, the identification of employees with the goals and values of the organization. Another significant result reveals the fact that there’s better intradepartmental than interdepartmental communication, illustrating the social values promoted in Romanian society (competition, individualism, focusing on performance), which are found in all areas of activity, including public administration.
