Perceptions of organizational climate, leadership, and group processes were aggregated within hierarchically nested work groups. Relationships across hierarchical boundaries were examined for two samples at different hierarchical levels in a military organization. Perceptions of climate were positively related across levels in both samples. There was evidence that the pattern of relationship among the other constructs was different in the two samples. The results have implications for the process which organizational interventions can be expected to flow through hierarchical levels of an organization. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
