Eight summary dimensions of psychological climate, i.e., autonomy, trust, cohesiveness, pressure, support, recognition, fairness, and innovation, were derived from over 80 differently labeled dimensions reported in the literature. Five item scales of each summary dimension were developed and tested in a sample (n = 367) of managerial employees. Coefficients alpha for the scales ranged from 0.80-0.89. When the 40 items were submitted to a factor analysis with an oblique rotation, eight factors were produced, generally corresponding to the eight summary dimensions. These results were validated by using a separate sample (n 84) of managerial and professional employees
