Abstract:

The management of organizational climate is fairly important in terms of improving innovation in organizations. For that reason, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of organizational climate dimensions (organizational encouragement, supervisory support, team support, autonomy, participation flexibility and communication) on perception of support for innovation. Here the goal is trying to help administrators by determining the factors that increase or prevent innovation. The data obtained from 86 enterprises that are operating in Kocaeli is used in order to analyze the relationships among variables. After factor analysis, data is tested through correlation analysis and regression analysis. The findings of research indicate that organizational climate dimensions affect the perception of support for innovation.
