| Abstract: | Identified specific behaviors and characteristics of 373 Roman Catholic diocesan priests that relate to their perceptions of work climate. Perceived climate was considered an intervening variable caused by specific job experiences and behaviors. Dimensions of activities performed, importance of the activities, and work climate were isolated factor analytically. Reported amount of activities performed was more strongly related to perceived work climate than was their reported importance. Position was shown to moderate the relationship between specific activities and perception of work climate, especially the perception of work challenge. (27 ref.)
