title: Measurement and management of work climate: cross-validation of the CRISO Psychological Climate Questionnaire.
abstract: This paper presents research results that offer answers to the "why," "what" and "how" of work climate measurement. It also submits to the scientific community a confirmatory cross-validation procedure applied to a new measurement tool, consistent with the works of Jones and James's (1979) and of Parker et al. (2003) on psychological climate. The results depict a good model fit for both the English and French versions of the questionnaire. This new instrument offers a comprehensive and manageable approach for the development of a healthy workplace.
