Management and ChangeSummary: Though the discomforts and dishonour associated with work are apparently missing today; the intangible vulnerability and hazards in the shape of stress, strain, and anxiety are still ingrained in it. This intrinsic and hidden susceptibility, which is more precarious and has been covertly but relentlessly taking the toll on working people, is a function, at least in part, of the organizational climate. Consequently, the field has been of great interest for researchers during the recent years. The present study conducted in the banking industry in Kashmir seeks to examine, on the basis of selected indicators, the nature and extent of relationship between organizational climate and stress at work. The study reveals not only that there is an overall negative relationship between perceived organizational climate and level of job stress but also that each dimension of organizational climate is inversely correlated with each dimension of job stress. Certain organizational climate-improving measures have been suggested to reduce job stress of employees so as to improve their job involvement, satisfaction and overall organizational efficiency. - Reproduced
