One of the key factors that may influence employees’ perceptions of involvement is organizational climate. This article examines the relationship between employee perceptions of involvement and organizational climate. Data were collected using a survey of 269 employees of an information technology company. The authors argue that employee involvement is composed of three essential variables, namely, participation in decision making, teamwork, and communications. Three hierarchical regression analyses were carried out with each of the employee perception of involvement variables as dependent variables. Employee demographic data, employee affective attitudes (job satisfaction, commitment, and stress), and three dimensions of organizational climate (bureaucracy, innovation, and support) were entered into the regression analyses. The results showed that supportive climates and commitment significantly predicted each of the employee involvement variables. The results are related to current research literature on organizational climate and involvement, and the implications for managers are discussed.
