Abstract
In t h i s study seven dimensions of the organisational
climate were used. Such dimensions are structure, responsibility,
risk taking behaviour, rewards and recognition,
warmth and support, and goal clarity. (Litwin and
Stringer 1968). Three leadership behaviour/styles were
used: directive, supportive and p a r t i c i p a t i v e and three
organisations a manufacturing, an Academic i n s t i t u t i o n and
a service organisation.
Correlations were found between directive leadership
and a l l the climate dimensions except structure and respon
s i b i l i t y in Organisation 2. Also correlations were found
between supportive leadership and a l l the climate dimensions
except for structure in both organisations 1 and 2. While
correlations were found between participative leadership
and a l l the climate dimensions in only Organisations 1 & 2.
However, there were no correlations found between the
climate dimensions and the three leadership styles for Organisation
