Abstract: Organizational climate is a major concept of human relations for understanding human behavior under different environmental influences. The climate affects employees’ productivity as well as job satisfaction. The right climate serves as one of the most effective tools of the leader for motivating his subordinates. This article is a critical review of the concept of organizational climate and its theoretical models which were developed by major scholars. More importantly, it shows the way organizational climate leads to the emergence of organizational communication climate, which in turn leads to the concept of organizational culture.

This review describes work on the evolution of a stellar system during the phase which starts at the end of core collapse. It begins with an account of the models of Hénon, Goodman, and Inagaki and Lynden-Bell, as well as evaporative models, and modifications to these models which are needed in the core. Next, these models are related to more detailed numerical calculations of gaseous models, Fokker-Planck models, N-body calculations, etc., and some problems for further work in these directions are outlined. The review concludes with a discussion of the relation between theoretical models and observations of the surface density profiles and statistics of actual globular clusters.

Previous research shows that selecting an appropriate theory or model has always remained a critical task for IS researchers. To the best of the authors' knowledge, there are few papers that review and compare the acceptance theories and models at the individual level. Hence, this article aims to overcome this problem by providing a critical review of eight of the most influential theories that have been used to predict and explain human behaviour towards adoption of various technologies at the individual level. This article also summarizes their evolution; highlight the key constructs, extensions, strengths, and criticisms from a selective list of published articles appeared in the literature related to IS. This review provides a holistic picture for future researchers in selecting appropriate single/multiple theoretical models/constructs based on their strengths and weaknesses and in terms of predictive power and path significance. It is concluded that a well-established theory should consider the personal, social, cultural, technological, organizational and environmental factors

The authors address a fundamental gap in understanding how sales performance and job satisfaction are determined in an investigation of the sales force of a direct-selling organization. Results indicate a direct positive effect of work-related effort on job satisfaction that is not mediated by sales performance. This is inconsistent with commonly accepted theoretical models and suggests that the perspective of work as a “terminal value” (i.e., an end in itself, rather than strictly a means to an end) has been underemphasized in models of work behavior. As such, either (1) measures of sales performance should be broadened to encompass the terminal value perspective on the psychological value of work or (2) conceptual models should be revised to reflect that narrowly defined measures of sales performance do not completely mediate the effect of effort on job satisfaction. The authors conclude with a discussion of managerial implications of these findings.
