“…Much evidence shows that a positive work climate in a workplace has been associated with an increased competitive advantage, productivity, performance, customer satisfaction, and hiring selectivity, as well as decreased absenteeism, turnover, injury/accident rates, and health care cost (Rozman et al, 2019;Berberoglu, 2018;Maamari & Majdalani, 2017;Shuck & Reio, 2017;Limm et al, 2011).

The Work Climate represents the perception that workers have of the way a company offers the right conditions for them to develop their work in the best way. A positive organizational climate drives and sustains employee satisfaction and high performance. This investigation, supported by a questionnaire, presents a case study to workers at a COBA company, that is a world leader in the production of wires used in the car wiring harness, intending to understand their work climate and propose improvement measures.Although the overall classification of the Work Climate and the Worker Satisfaction in COBA is quite good, still exists opportunities for improvement. Our findings suggest that from the three dimensions, namely Safety, Hygiene and Health Conditions at Work, Motivation and Work Organization, considered in the Work Climate, only the first two dimensions influence the Worker Satisfaction. Motivation is the variable that most strongly predicts the perception of worker satisfaction.This study also reveals that the sociodemographic profiles are a key factor to consider, as the relationships between work climate dimensions and worker satisfaction vary across workers segments.No differences were found in the satisfaction of the workers related to age and contract type. On the other hand, workers, male, divorced, with more children, with a lower educational level, with less tenure and the ones that work in shifts, reported lower perception of the work climate and are less satisfied.

Organizations are increasingly being responsible for providing good and healthy work environment that can help in supporting employees performing their duties. Supportive work environment can increase the degree of employee engagement, which in turn, makes them more attached to their roles. The purpose of the current study is two-folded: to investigate the effect of work environment on engagement, and to test ethical decision making as a mediator between environment and engagement. Data were collected from a sample of 237 employees from transportation corporations listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (2019) in Jordan. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the model. Results proposed that engagement was significantly related to work environment and ethical decision-making. Work environment has a greater effect on employee engagement than on ethical decision-making. Moreover, the effect of ethical decision-making on employee engagement was greater than the effect of work engagement on ethical decision-making. Furthermore, the study yielded support for the claim that ethical decision-making played a significant role in the relationship between work environment and employee engagement. Therefore, employees having good working conditions and making ethical decisions tend to get higher levels of employee engagement.
