Organisation Climate reflects current atmosphere of the organisation in which the employees work. It provides opportunities to perform jobs according to the skills and a reward system which serves as motivators for employees (financial and nonfinancial).

According to Campbell, “Organisation climate can be defined as a set of attributes specific to a particular organisation that may be induced from the way that organisation deals with its members and its environment. For the individual members within the organisation, climate takes the form of a set of attitudes and experiences which describe the organisation in terms of both static characteristics (such as degree of autonomy) and behaviour outcome and outcome outcome contingencies.”
Generally, it reflects only shorter period.
It evolves according to the needs of the organisation to adapt the internal and external environment.
It can be manipulated and changed.
It is of short term in nature.
Organisation Culture reflects the atmosphere of an organisation which is evolved over a number of years. It takes years to develop a culture.

According to Edgar Schein, “Organisation culture can be defined as a pattern of basic assumptionsinvented, discovered or developed by a given group as it learns to cope with its problems of external adaptation and internal integrationthat has worked well enough to be considered valuable and, therefore, to be taught to new members as the correct way to perceive, think and feel in relation to those problems.
Goodwill and reputation are earned through the culture of an organisation.
Manipulation and changing the culture of an organisation isn't a easy task. It cannot be manipulated easily.
It is long term in nature since it have been evolved through a number of years.

Organisation culture is a broader framework that determines its climate whereas an Organisation climate is shortterm perspective that defines its daytoday functioning and also describes employees’ feelings about what the organisation is and organisation culture defines what the organisation is as perceived by those who deal with the organisation.

A company known for its quality represents its culture and employeremployee relations in the company represents its climate.
