Organisational climate significantly influences teachers’ job performance, which can be assessed through job satisfaction, commitment, sense of challenge, meaningfulness, and responsibility. This study examines higher education teachers’ perceptions of organisational climate and its impact on job satisfaction in colleges affiliated with Bharathiar University, Coimbatore District. The research is both explorative and descriptive in nature, utilizing primary data collected through a structured questionnaire from a stratified sample of 725 teachers across 18 colleges. The findings indicate that teachers generally exhibit high levels of trust and positive relationships with immediate seniors and colleagues. However, comparatively lower satisfaction levels were observed in areas related to management practices, such as transparency, welfare measures, and administrative support, highlighting perceptual gaps between expectations and experiences. Statistical analyses, including Z-tests and Exploratory Factor Analysis, identified key dimensions of organisational climate trust, communication, welfare measures, administrative support, and transparency that significantly influence job satisfaction. The study concludes that while interpersonal relationships among faculty are strong, improvements in institutional policies and management practices are necessary to enhance overall job satisfaction. A supportive organisational climate not only promotes teacher commitment and performance but also contributes to the quality of education, benefiting teachers, management, policymakers, and the broader academic community.
