California State University-Northridge

The subjects also completed questionnaires measuring their per ceptions of six aspects of the communication climate within their respective organizations: supportiveness, openness and empathy, per ceived accuracy of downward communication, upward communication satisfaction, perceived information reliability, and the overall openness of communication.
