Organizational climate and culture are important for research organizations because they foster research integrity and responsible conduct of research, reduce questionable research practices, and improve job satisfaction. The aim of our study was to explore how employees and students perceive organizational climate and its consequences in the university setting. We conducted semi-structured interviews with senior students and employees (teaching and non-teaching staff) from two different university schools: School of Medicine and Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. Participants were asked questions regarding perceived climate, working environment, and the role of the institution. The data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis approach. Three themes were identified. The first theme addressed the difference in the perception and understanding of organizational climate. The second theme dealt with institutional issues emanating from organizational climate. The third theme described the behavior of stakeholders in the formation of organizational climate. Organizational climate is important concept in academic organizations as it influences both employees, particularly early career researchers, and students. Institutional leadership can strongly influence organizational climate, which can in turn affect job and job satisfaction. Due to the importance of personal morality on everyday decision-making, virtue-based research integrity training could be useful in improving academic institutions' organizational climate.
组织氛围和文化对研究机构很重要，因为它们促进研究诚信和负责任的研究行为，减少有问题的研究行为，并提高工作满意度。我们研究的目的是探讨员工和学生如何看待大学环境中的组织氛围及其影响。我们对来自两所不同大学学院的高年级学生和员工（教学和非教学人员）进行了半结构化访谈：医学院和人文社会科学学院。参与者被问及有关感知氛围、工作环境和机构作用的问题。数据采用反思性主题分析方法进行分析。确定了三个主题。第一个主题涉及对组织氛围的认知和理解上的差异。第二个主题处理源于组织氛围的机构问题。第三个主题描述了利益相关者在组织氛围形成中的行为。组织氛围在学术机构中是一个重要概念，因为它影响员工，尤其是早期职业研究人员和学生。机构领导可以强烈影响组织氛围，进而影响工作和工作满意度。由于个人道德在日常决策中的重要性，基于美德的研究诚信培训可能有助于改善学术机构的组织氛围。
