This paper presents a two-wave cross-lagged study (average interval of two years) on time precedence in the relationship between organizational climate and organizational performance in 171 branches of a financial services organization. On the basis of organizational climate theory it was hypothesized that organizational climate influences organizational performance, but also that organizational performance influences organizational climate. It was also hypothesized that both processes are present simultaneously. Results of a series of competing models in AMOS show that organizational climate at time point 1 influences organizational performance at time point 2.
