Article: Is there a relationship between organisational climate and job satisfaction? A view from a systematic review and meta-analysis Journal: World Review of Entrepreneurship, Management and Sustainable Development (WREMSD) 2025 Vol.21 No.2 pp.23 - 53 Abstract: This study focused on determining the relationship between organisational climate and job satisfaction in education, health and other sectors, as its long-term effects can affect organisational performance. Using a PRISMA-supported systematic review method, a literature search was conducted in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Quantitative articles with correlation, regression or effect size data were included. In addition, meta-analysis was conducted in Jamovi, where the r-z coefficient was transformed using a maximum confidence estimator. The title-based search strategy yielded 112 articles, but only 30 met the inclusion criteria. The meta-analysis revealed a positive correlation between climate and job satisfaction in education, health and other sectors. It is concluded that a favourable organisational climate helps keep employees satisfied; that is, employees with an adequate organisational climate will feel more satisfied at work, whether in education, health or any other sector. Therefore, senior and middle management must ensure an appropriate organisational climate. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research
