From the Paper:

"The methodology this researcher proposes to use to validate the approach examining that link between organizational climate and job satisfaction includes a thorough literature review of peer reviewed resources, along with a randomly distributed questionnaire. This researcher contends this particular proposed methodology to be most appropriate for this research effort as it compliments previous studies with a fresh investment of contemporary "real-life" considerations from individuals currently experiencing how organizational climate influences their job satisfaction.
