CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION 1.

1 INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY Organizational climate (sometimes known as Corporate Climate) is the process of quantifying the culture of an organization, it precedes the notion of organizational culture. It is a set of properties of the work environment, perceived directly or indirectly by the employees, that is assumed to be a major force in influencing employee behavior. Climate and culture are both important aspects of the overall context, environment or situation. Organizational culture tends to be shared by all or most members of some social group; is something that older members usually try to pass on to younger members; shapes behavior and structures perceptions of the world. Cultures are often studied and understood at a national level, such as the American or French culture. Culture includes deeply held values, beliefs and assumptions, symbols, heroes, and rituals. Culture can be examined at an organizational level as well. The main distinction between organizational and national culture is that people can choose to join a place of work, but are usually born into a national culture. Organizational climate, on the other hand, is often defined as the recurring patterns of behavior, attitudes and feelings that characterize life in the organization, while an organization culture tends to be deep and stable. Although culture and climate are related, climate often proves easier to assess and change. At an individual level of analysis the concept is called individual psychological climate. These individual perceptions are often aggregated or collected for analysis and understanding at the team or group level, or the divisional, functional, or overall organizational level.

There are two difficulties in defining organization climate: how to define climate, and how to measure it effectively on different levels of analysis. Furthermore, there are several approaches to the concept of climate. Two in particular have received substantial patronage: the cognitive schema approach and the shared perception approach. The cognitive schema approach regards the concept of climate as an individual perception and cognitive representation of the work environment. From this perspective climate assessments should be conducted at an individual level. The shared perception approach emphasizes the importance of shared perceptions as underpinning the notion of climate. Organisational climate has also been defined as "the shared perception of the way things are around here". There is great deal of overlap in the two approaches.. Cognitive representations of social objects are referred to as schemas. These schemas are a mental structure that represents some aspect of the world. They are organized in memory in an associative network. In these associative networks, similar schemas are clustered together. When a particular schema is activated related schemas may be activated as well. Schema activation may also increase the accessibility of related schemas in the associative network. When a schema is more accessible this means it can more quickly be activated and used in a particular situation. When related schemas are activated, inferences beyond the information given in a particular social situation may influence thinking and social behavior, regardless of whether those inferences are accurate or not. Lastly, when a schema is activated a person may or may not be aware of it.

Two processes that increase the accessibility of schemas are salience and priming. Salience is the degree to which a particular social object stands out relative to other social objects in a situation. The higher the salience of an object the more likely that schemas for that object will be made accessible. For example, if there is one female in a group of seven males, female gender schemas may be more accessible and influence the groups thinking and behavior toward the female group member. Priming refers to any experiences immediately prior to a situation that caused a schema to be more accessible. Some researchers have pursued the shared perception model of organizational climate. Their model identifies the variables which moderate an organisations ability to mobilise its workforce in order to achieve business goals and maximise performance. One of the major users of this model are departments of the Queensland State Government Australia. These departments use this model of climate to survey staff in order to identify and measure those aspects of a workplace which impact on: stress, morale, quality of worklife, wellbeing, employee engagement, absenteeism/presenteeism, turnover and performance. While an organisation and its leaders cannot remove every stressor in the daily life of its employees, Organisational Climate studies have identified a number of behaviours of leaders which have a significant impact on stress and morale. For instance, one Queensland state government employer, Queensland Transport, has found that increasing managers awareness of these behaviours has improved quality of work life employees and the ability of QTs to deliver its organisational goals.

Theories of Cognitive and Neuropsychology and Emotional Intelligence provide additional scientific rationale for why leaders should improve stress and morale in the workplace to achieve maximum performance. Climate surveys can provide concrete evidence of how this works in action. Organisational climate surveying enables the impact of Human Resource (HR) strategies to be evaluated to create HR Return on Investment (HRROI) calculations. This data has been found to be highly effective in changing the perspective of people-based initiatives as being an investment rather than a cost and transforming HR into a mission-critical strategic partner from its perception of personnel administration. A number of studies by Dr Dennis Rose and colleagues between 20012004 have found a very strong link between Organisational Climate and employee reactions such as stress levels, absenteeism and commitment and participation. A study has found that Hart, Griffin et al.s (1996) Organisational Climate model accounts for at least 16% single-day sick leave and 10% separation rates in one organisation.[10][11] Other studies support the links between organizational climate and many other factors such as employee retention, job satisfaction, well-being, and readiness for creativity, innovation and change. Hunter, Bedell and Mumford have reviewed numerous approaches to climate assessment for creativity. They found that those climate studies that were based on well-developed, standardized instruments produced far higher effect sizes than did studies that were based on locally developed measures.

1.2 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The scope of the study is to obtain organization climate. The study would reveal out the position working environment in textile industry. The study may bring awareness the organizational climate. The study is descriptive nature. 100 respondents are taken from this study.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Major studies conducted by various researchers are as discussed below: 1.Bagchi (1997) critically examined the removal of quota between 1995-2005 in four phases is not as beneficial as it is projected by developed world. The first two phases are composed of goods which are not of high importance and already almost free. These two phases are not of high importance. The other two phases are of high importance.

2. Chandra (1998) in his article wrote on challenges ahead of Indian textile and clothing industry in post quota regime. It put special emphasis on production capabilities and efficiencies as most essential elements to fight global competition. It suggests various strategic decisions indian textile manufacturers have to make to survive the competitiveness in post quota regime.

3. Verma (2002) did a comprehensive study with objective to evaluate the export competitiveness of Indian textile and clothing sector. Because Indian textile and clothing sector is predominantly cotton based, the study is focused on cotton textile and clothing and look at the entire value chain from fiber to garment and retail distribution. The scope of study covers the products in Indian export basket which have shown a promising growth in value. The Study concludes that Indian exports to US and EU are export competitive as a whole. Sector wise analysis of export performance of Indian textile and clothing sectors to US and EU reveal that so far apparel or clothing and made- up is concerned; quota is the major constraint.

4. Simpson and Shetty (2001) did a vast study on India s textile industry. The purpose of study is to analyze India s textile and apparel industry, its structural problems, market access barriers, and measurements taken by government of india to enhance the industry s competitiveness in the post Multifibre Agreement (MFA).

5. Verma (2001) in his article emphasized on the impact on the Indian textile and
10

clothing industry after quota elimination. It says that Indian textile and clothing exporters have to bring in necessary changes in their methods of production, management style, capacities, marketing skills and productivity level in order to remain competitive in international market. Also it put special emphasis on the size of Indian textile units when compared to its counterpart in China.

6. Meenakshi (2003) did a comprehensive study on the opportunities that would be provided by WTO to Indian Textile industry. This paper gives a lot emphasis on new capacity installation to take the benefits to the fullest extent in India has to be a true gainer in competition to other nations. Since India s own consumption per capita is also on the rise with the rise of income and consumption habits, the profit margins available to Indian textile and clothing producers will be more.

7. Pandey (2003) in his article expected that Indian textile exporter would be benefited with quota elimination. It discusses on various sector s of textile and clothing. Also he expects that hosiery industry will be one of the gainer and small scale exporters will be more competitive due to small size and controlled cost and lower overheads.

8.Uraiwan(2004) had worked extensively on the knitwear/hosiery products development process to understand the complexities under lying in it; because a well defined development process assist the organization to determine its future direction, plan for rapid changes, create new product line with profits and plan for technology adaptation and implementation. The goal of this research was to propose an optimal product development process for a knitwear/hosiery company by examining the process used by major US Sweater Company and comparing its process to established processes.

9. Vivek (2004) in his article had said that JC Penny a leading retail chain of US looks india for sourcing its garments in woven and hosiery. He is of opinion that India will be fulfilling its major need of hosier y and woven garments in cotton while China will be good for synthetic fabrics and its garments.

10. Venkatachala m and Palanivelu (2010) did detailed study on marketing strategies adopted by garment exporters in Tirupur. In this paper the authors highlight the problems of garment industries and propose solution to overcome these problems.
11

11. Chugan (2005) emphasized that Indian textile Industry has to change to be more competitive in the long run. This paper emphasis that merely cost competence is not enough to maintain the lead while indian companied has to have a global competitive. Chugan (2005) in his study emphasized on the role of HR in this booming sector. To maintain its edge over its competitors india has to bring in high productivity per employee. India s productivity is far below than China and Pakistan which are the major competitors. With high productivity, another area is innovativeness to bring in new products and process, where HR plays the prominent role.

12. Trivedi (2005) in his article concluded that the textile is one sector where India has high ambitions and can achieve robust growth through moderate human skills. India has skilled labour and does better in this sector as compared to others. This will also Increase the employment and the social structure will be better off.

13. Chaudhry (2006)

did a very comprehensive study on the productivity of Indian

Textile sector and various related sectors. Very technical formulas are used to analyze the competitiveness of Indian Textile Industry.

14. Chugan (2006) in his article discussed in detail the opportunities available to various sectors of Indian Textiles in the post quota era. Also, it emphasizes the weaker link, competition from china and the schemes run by government to support Indian textile Industry.

15. Bedi (2009) in his article had prepared detailed report on Indian textile industry covering various sector of textile industry. This is one of the most comprehensive reports coveting all aspects of textile industry, performance and hindrances in the growth of it.
