Sammendrag
This exploratory study aims to explore potential differences in individuals` organizational climate
perception from the perspective of culture. Potential differences according to gender is also
explored. In order to achieve the goal of the study, nine climate dimensions were examined by
self- administered questionnaires that were conducted and obtained from six different languages
including Norwegian, English, French, Dutch, German and Chinese. Usable answers were
obtained from 19 229 individuals. To make the comparison fair, a random 100 persons were
collected from each language using random probability sampling. A total of 600 participants were
analyzed. The data that was collected through the questionnaire was analyzed by using SPSS 26
and the relationship between climate perception on nine dimensions and cultural/gender
differences was analyzed. The findings indicate that there are significant differences in climate
perception both culturally and when comparing the two genders. The results found significant
differences in five of the climate dimensions cross culturally and four dimensions when
comparing gender.
Keywords: Organizational climate, perception, culture, gender
