The perceived work and treatment environments of four different public welfare offices were compared utilizing a revised version of Rudolf Moos' social climate scales. It was found that a team, multi-method office implied an environment high in support, autonomy, innovation and pressure. Two non-team, multipopulation offices operated as moderate support, low or moderate innovation, low-moderate pressure climates. A non-team, functional office supported a climate which was low in support and autonomy, moderate in innovation and high in pressure. It is concluded that organizational structure significantly influences the work and treatment environment of welfare offices
