Background of the Study
Organizational climate refers to the shared perceptions of employees regarding their work environment, including leadership practices, communication, and organizational culture. It plays a critical role in shaping employee behavior, influencing factors such as motivation, job satisfaction, and performance (Schneider et al., 2024). A positive organizational climate fosters a sense of belonging and encourages employees to contribute to organizational goals, while a negative climate can lead to disengagement and high turnover rates.
In Nigeria’s banking sector, organizational climate is particularly important due to the high-pressure nature of the industry. GTBank, a leading financial institution, operates in Benue State, where cultural diversity and regional economic conditions shape workplace dynamics. Understanding the role of organizational climate in shaping employee behavior is crucial for improving performance and fostering a productive work environment (Okeke & John, 2023).
This study explores the impact of organizational climate on employee behavior at GTBank in Benue State, highlighting the factors that contribute to a positive workplace environment.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the significant impact of organizational climate on employee behavior, many organizations struggle to create a conducive work environment. At GTBank in Benue State, challenges such as inadequate communication, lack of employee recognition, and unclear leadership expectations have been reported (Eze & Ibrahim, 2024). These issues negatively affect employee motivation and performance, hindering the bank’s ability to achieve its goals.
This study examines the role of organizational climate in shaping employee behavior, identifying areas for improvement to foster a more supportive work environment.
