Conceptualizing and Measuring Organizational and Psychological Climate: Pitfalls in Multilevel Research
Abstract
Organizational and psychological climate research has been plagued by cross-level inference problems. This paper advocates treating the organization as the unit of theory for organizational climate while preserving the individual as the unit of theory for psychological climate. It examines multilevel conceptual problems in climate research and discusses strategies/or improving the validity and assessing the reliability of measurement. Additional multilevel research on climate and other areas of organizational science, particularly organizational culture, is encouraged.

ICC(1) = 0.21 and ICC(2) = 0.81 justified aggregating the peer ratings.
“ICC(1), indicating the ratio of between-group variance to total variance was 0.21, indicating a high score (Bliese, 2000;James, 1982).ICC(2), indicating the reliability of average peer perceptions, was 0.81, also representing a high value (Glick, 1985).Thus, our approach to aggregate the peer ratings can be justified.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
