A number of studies on organizational climate have been carried out in the past, emphasizing that individual behaviour is greatly influenced by the work environment. Therefore, creating a favourable work climate by incorporating appropriate changes in the various dimensions of the organization, based on the changes in the global business environment, is essential for the success of an organization. To a great extent, all organisations need to be flexible in the present era. Also, in most cases, organisations need to increase their flexibility to respond to the changes happening in the surrounding environment. The need to increase flexibility of an organisation depends upon the difference between the level and nature of existing, targeted and potential flexibility of that organisation. This research study is a longitudinal research which discovers the changes in the Organisational Climate of a large, well established Public Enterprise (BHEL, Thiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu), where a study was conducted during 1991, two decades after a paradigm shift in Indian Economy, in order to examine the impact of economic reforms, especially the globalization, on the climate of PEs in India.
