V.S.R.Vijayakumar, ICFAI Business School, India
Studies have shown the impact of organizational climate perceptions on individual and
organizational performance. Present investigation aims to unravel the dynamics of formation of
positive organizational climate perceptions. Structural equation modeling strategy is used to test
the hypothetical relationship between management style and work values in shaping positive
climate perceptions. The fitted model shows the role of work values in moderating the relationship
between management style and climate perceptions. Diversity tolerance and team orientation
strengthens the impact of participative style on organizational climate perceptions. Directive style
increases negative perceptions. The implications of these findings on various organizational
processes are discussed.

The study aimed at exploring the organizational and inter-organizational factors which affect the
safety of civil aviation. 78 aviation members were interviewed with semi-structure method.
Coding technique was used to quantitatively transform the qualitative data. Criteria were collected
from the CAAC. Results showed: 1) based on the experts’ meta-plan analysis, three organizational
factors were obtained, and the relatively immature non-technical control factor played a more
important role in the safety. 2) Pilots focused more on the departure standard of aircraft than
maintenance technicians. Air traffic controllers thought about more their control role, whereas
pilots viewed the controllers’ job as service.

Duchduen Bhanthumnavin, Graduate School of Social Development National Institute of
Development Administration, Thailand
Five most recent studies, based on Interactionism Model and Multiple Regression Analysis,
employed more than 2,600 Thai youths in total. Psychological and situational predictors could
account for various behaviors, from waste minimizing behavior in urban areas to animal
protection behavior in rural places ranging from 43.1% to 57.4% predictability. Consonant results
were that attitude toward behavior was the most important psychological predictor, followed by
future orientation and self-control, belief in internal locus of control, modeling from significant
others, love-reasoning oriented child rearing practices, and media influence. Male and low GPA
students were frequently found as at-risk groups.
