This study presents comparative psychological analysis between work
organizations
from diverse ownership and activity in Republic of Macedonia. The
sample
consisted of 513 employees in 25 work organizations (private service,
state-owned
service, private production, and state-owned production orgs). WES Work
Environment Scale (Moos, 1994.) was applied for estimate of social
climate.
The fundamental assumption that WES dimensions would discriminate
significantly
between work organizations owing to the type of organizational
ownership
and activity, was proved with the analysis of variance and discriminant
analysis. Both analyses revealed the most favorable and the most
efficient
work environments embodied in the private service organizations owing
to
their high-quality social climate and the flexible structure. The other
organizations were less- quality work settings especially the private
production
organizations. It was recommended the future research of organizational
characteristics to include the social climate just so as the structure
of any organization.
Key words: social climate,
ownership, activity, organizations.
PERCEPCIJA PSIHOSOCIJALNIH ASPEKATA
U RAZLIČITOM RADNOM OKRUŽENJU
Studija predstavlja komparativnu psihološku analizu između radnih
organizacija
različitih oblika svojine i aktivnosti u Republici Makedoniji. Uzorak
se
sastoji od 513 upošljenih u 25 radnih organizacija (privatnih servisa,
državnih servisa, privatnih proizvodnih organizacija i državnih
proizvodnih
organizacija). Korišćena je WES Work Environment Scale - skala radne
sredine
(Moos, 1994.) za procenu socijalne klime. Osnovna pretpostavka je da će
se WES dimenzije značajno razlikovati između organizacija usled oblika
svojine organizacije i aktivnosti, što se utvrđuje analizom varijanse i
diskriminativnom analizom. Obe analize otkrivaju da su najpoželjnija i
najefikasnija radna okruženja ostvarena u privatnim uslužnim
organizacijama
zbog visoko kvalitetne socijalne klime i fleksibilne strukture. Ostale
organizacije imaju manje kvalitetan radni seting, posebno privatne
proizvodne
organizacije. To pretpostavlja da buduća istraživanja organizacionih
karakteristika
uključuju socijalnu klimu kao i strukturu svake od organizacija.
Ključne reči: socijalna klima,
