Climate Factors
The mission of PACE is to promote open and constructive communication along four climate factors. Each climate factor has a unique focus which creates an integrative tool useful in understanding the campus climate at your institution. Institutional Structure focuses on the mission, leadership, spirit of corporation, structural organization, decision-making, and communication within the institution. Supervisory Relationships provide insight into the relationship between employees and their supervisors, as well as employees’ abilities to be creative and express ideas related to their work. The Teamwork climate factor explores the spirit of cooperation that exists within teams, while the Student Focus climate factor considers the centrality of students to the actions of the institution as well as the extent to which students are prepared for post-institution endeavors. Taken together the climate factors provide a valid source to define areas needing change or improvement and sets the stage for strategic planning.
