The construct of climate and its relationship to various work outcomes over time was examined. Based on perceptual agreement of various work setting characteristics, collective climates were formed. Climates were traced longitudinally 10 understand the bases of perceptual agreement. Collective climates were shown to (1) vary in stability over time and (2) affect employees' job satisfactions, how they described their leader's behaviour, and intentions to leave. A basis for understanding membership in climates was developed.
