With women's increasing contribution to national income and employment, it becomes essential to identify factors affecting organizational climate and provide measures to provide a supportive work environment for employees of both genders.

Key findings highlight that while friendly atmosphere and free communication are valued, disparities persist in areas such as leadership styles and job satisfaction and Decision –making participation. Further the study recommendations for creating a more inclusive and productive organizational climate, focusing on HR policies, conflict resolution, and cultural diversity acceptance.
