The social climate fostered in organizations can directly influence job satisfaction by affecting employees’ motivation, commitment and performance. The level of job satisfaction among employees is crucial both individually and organizationally. An organization’s ability to manage and enhance the social climate is essential for boosting employee job satisfaction and consequently improving organizational performance. Thus, this study seeks to offer a comprehensive review and a novel perspective on understanding the impact of social climate on job satisfaction within organizations and aims to help organizations understand the social climate factors that influence their employees and to develop effective strategies for increasing job satisfaction. Using data collected from 320 employees at Mardin Artuklu University, the research evaluates various dimensions of social climate and their effects on job satisfaction. The findings reveal that social climate factors like interpersonal harmony, organizational support, professional solidarity and non-work relations are significantly and negatively correlated with higher job satisfaction levels. Thus, the study also uncovers positive correlation between job satisfaction and intra-group communication. Also, no relation was found between work ethics and job satisfaction. These results suggest that improving specific aspects of the social climate can enhance employee satisfaction and by extension, organizational performance. Therefore, the results of this study offer valuable insights and can serve as significant guidance for managers in making informed strategic decisions related to social climate management within the business world. The study further concludes by underscoring the critical importance of effectively managing the social climate in organizations, highlighting how such efforts can foster a more supportive, motivating and ultimately satisfying workplace environment which in turn can lead to enhanced employee well-being and overall organizational success.
