COMPARISON AMONG DIFFERENT DIMENSIONS OF ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF WEST BENGAL BY MAHALANOBIS DISTANCE

Abstract

Application of Mahalanobis Distance is of recent trend in social science research. The present work deals with the application of such to measure the difference in different dimensions of Organizational Climate like Employees’ Perception of Autonomy, Trust on Manager, Team Work, Reward and Recognition, Employees’ Perception towards Fairness and  Employees’ Perception towards Organizational Support taking together as a branch for different groups of secondary level teachers. Difference between groups of secondary level teachers for all the dependent variables taken together at a time is a matter of consideration here. Mahalanobis Distance is one of the most powerful way-out to find out the dynamical nature of group of variables.  Two different dichotomous groups of teachers have been taken into consideration for this present study. Mahalanobis Distance is smeared to associate the dynamical nature of six dependent variables i.e. different dimensions of Organizational Climate like Employees’ Perception of Autonomy, Trust on Manager, Team Work, Reward and Recognition, Employees’ Perception towards Fairness and Employees’ Perception towards Organizational Support considered as a branch. The result revealed that there is no significant difference in dynamical nature of six dependent variables for different groups of independent variables.
