Organizational climate (OC) affects employees, their interactions with students, and is essential to student achievement. However, the research is limited in that it is not clear how college faculty and staff perceive OC factors that may contribute to student academic achievement. The aim of this study was to answer the following research questions: 1) How do faculty perceive OC strengths that may contribute to student academic achievement? 2) How do staff perceive OC strengths contributing to student academic achievement? 3) What OC factors do community college faculty and staff perceive as barriers to student academic achievement? A qualitative, single exploratory case study design was used to conduct the study at a community college in South-Central Texas. The three data sources were 23 faculty interviews, 23 staff interviews, and archived 2018 Personal Assessment of College Environment (PACE) survey data. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The organizational strengths centered around themes of "Students First" focus, resources, student programs, being motivated by students and the opportunity to serve them, positive interactions/relationships with students, and having a supportive, positive, and flexible supervisor. The OC factors perceived as barriers occurred at different organizational levels and involved employees not doing what was best for students and not being addressed by supervisors; a lack of civil internal customer service; top-down, authoritative leadership style; and poor systems. The results of this study can help college administration address OC barriers to improve the organizational climate and student academic success.
