Abstract
The article presents a commentary on the paper “Conceptualizing and measuring organizational and psychological climate: Pitfalls in multilevel research,” by W. H. Glick. The authors note that Glick's paper contains some inconsistencies. They explain that it is difficult to understand how Glick defined organizational climate (OC) as a nonpsychological, organizational variable that is different from a shared assignment of psychological meaning. The authors contend that methodological discussion and decisions should follow questions such as whether it makes sense to aggregate a psychological variable to a situational level of analysis.
