ABSTRACT
The study aims to explore the antecedents of organizational climate and its impact on turnover intention of faculty members of various technical educational institutes of India. A 23-item instrument was generated following a critical review of the literature. The data was collected from 205 faculty members through structured questionnaires. Antecedents of Organizational climate viz Orientation,
Supervision, Communication, Decision Making and Reward Management are independent variables and
Turnover Intention is dependent variable. An 18 item instrument was generated with the help of
Turnover Intention scale adapted from Donnelly and Ivancevich (1985) and Organizational Climate
Questionnaire (OCQ) adapted from Litwin and Stringer (1968) measuring five factors. Principal component analysis with varimax rotation was used to determine construct validity and Cronbach’s coefficient alpha to determine the scale internal consistency. Regression analysis was used to determine the causal relationship between both the variables. The results state that among all the five antecedents of organizational climate only two antecedents viz. Orientation (X1) and Reward Management (X5) has significant impact on turnover intention The hypothesis was tested on representative faculty members of technical educational institutes across India.
