Administering the Climate Survey: A Toolkit

William J. Rothwell Office of the Attorney General

Abstract

Climate surveys are an important part of an organizational communication program. They facilitate upward communication and provide an opportunity for meaningful change. Although many questionnaires are commercially available, managers in small organizations can seldom afford them—or even know where to get them. This article describes the conduct of a climate survey and provides a questionnaire for the readers' use.
