This study investigated the influence of gender on the organizational climate of secondary school teachers within Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas in Himachal Pradesh, India. A sample of 370 teachers, equally split between Kendriya Vidyalayas and Navodaya Vidyalayas (185 from each), was drawn from 12 districts across Himachal Pradesh. The Organizational Climate Scale for Teachers (OCST-SV) by Dr. (Mrs.) Venita Singh (2015) was used to measure organizational climate. To determine if there was a significant disparity in organizational climate based on gender, a t-test was employed. Analysis of Kendriya Vidyalayas revealed that male teachers had a mean organizational climate score of 267.01 (SD=26.80), while female teachers scored 261.81 (SD=26.17). The calculated t-ratio of 1.33 (p < 0.05) was not statistically significant, indicating no significant difference in organizational climate between male and female teachers in Kendriya Vidyalayas. Similarly, within Navodaya Vidyalayas, male teachers exhibited a mean organizational climate score of 256.21 (SD=31.27) and female teachers a score of 259.54 (SD=28.45). The t-ratio of 0.75 (p < 0.05) was also not statistically significant, suggesting no significant gender-based difference in organizational climate among Navodaya Vidyalaya teachers. Consequently, the overall findings indicate no significant difference in the organizational climate of school teachers from either Kendriya Vidyalayas or Navodaya Vidyalayas with respect to gender.
