N2 - In recent years, researchers have paid increasing attention to the idea of “climate strength” – the level of agreement about climate within a work group or organization.

Positive relationships were discovered between two of three climate dimensions (Quality and Integration) and expert ratings of organizational performance, and curvilinear effects between Integration climate strength and performance was also found Very high or very low Integration climate strength was less beneficial than a moderate level of climate strength.
