ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE AND ROLE EFFICACY - AS PREDICTORS OF MANAGERIAL EFFECTIVENESS

Abstract

exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed respectively to obtain the factor structure and fitness of the obtained factor pattern on the focused sample. In third phase of analysis, study hypotheses were tested; test of differences such as independent sample t test and one way ANOVA and multiple hierarchical regressions were employed. Mediation and moderated mediation was checked by using bootstrap approach through structural equation modeling (SEM). Conclusively, research fmdings suggest that the constituents of organizational climate and role efficacy can boost managerial effectiveness. Additionally, fmdings exhibited the importance of demographic variables on the casual paths between organizational climate, role efficacy and managerial effectiveness. Conversely, study indicates little evidences that demographic variables cause the occurrence of perceptual difference in study variables (organizational climate, role efficacy and managerial effectiveness). The study has many key implications. Firstly, it established the reliability and validity of instruments for measuring the organizational climate, role efficacy and managerial effectiveness in Indian context. Subsequently, it exhibited the functions of organizational climate and role efficacy on managerial effectiveness through testing a complex mediation and conditional mediation model. Therefore, added in the existing literature. Present work also recommends the relevance of employing SEM in pursuance of complex casual behavior models. Strategies to achieve organizational competitiveness through effectiveness of organizational members could be drawn on these research findings
