Significant main effects and interactions resulted in tests for simple main effects and post-hoc analyses to establish specific mean pairs which differed significantly from each other. Four criteria which served as dependent variables in the ANOVAs were (a) General Organizational Climate; (b) Organizational Communications Climate; (c) Job Related Satisfaction; and (d) Perceived Productivity. These criteria were collected with the OAP, and were four orthogonal factors extracted during a previous study. A few of the significant differences found were that, overall, those who were in an organization more than 36 months scored higher on the criteria than did other groups of individuals. Supervisors of larger numbers of people also scored higher than did other groups of individuals. A supervisor who used work group meetings to set goals and solve problems resulted in his workers being more satisfied, and perceived productivity and the organization's climate to be better. Civilians reported higher job related satisfaction than did officers and airmen. Airmen perceived work group productivity to be lower than did officers and civilians.
