The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between organizational climate and life satisfaction among police constables. The sample of the study consisted of 120 police constables (60 males & 60 females) selected from Gorakhpur City, Uttar Pradesh, India using a purposive sampling technique. Participants were individually administered the Hindi versions of the Organizational Climate Scale (Pethe, Chaudhari, & Dhar; 1971) and the Life Satisfaction Scale (Kumar & Dhyani; 1988). To examine the relationships, participants were categorized based on their OCS scores. Pearson’s correlation was computed to assess the association between organizational climate and life satisfaction among male and female police constables. The results revealed no statistically significant correlations between organizational climate and life satisfaction (p < .05) for both male and female police constables. These findings suggest that, within this sample, organizational climate may not be a significant predictor of life satisfaction outcomes.
