Abstract
The success of an organization depends on the interrelationship between management and the work force and the conducive work culture present in the organization. The perception of the employees of the various characteristics of an organization is termed as Organizational Climate. Similarly, the entrepreneurial climate refers to an environment that supports the development of entrepreneurial ventures. Establishing and managing of an enterprise effectively depends on the existing entrepreneurial climate.
