The objective of the current study is to determine the correlations between organisational climate and institutional commitment among secondary school teachers of West Bengal in regard to gender and institution location. This research is of the descriptive survey type. A sum of 400 secondary school teachers in West Bengal provided data for the study using a stratified random sample technique. The data were analysed in SPSS Version 26.0 using appropriate descriptive statistics like mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of correlation. The findings showed a strong correlation between organisational climate and institutional commitment among West Bengali secondary school teachers. Keywords— Organisational Climate, Institutional Commitment, coefficient of correlation, secondary school teachers. I. INTRODUCTION The internal environment or the environment around the organisation can both be used to describe the organisational climate. Every organisation, corporation, or institute has its own distinct personality, characteristics, and atmosphere, known as the organisational climate, just as every person has a distinctive personality (Kirti & Saini, 2019). Employees are keenly interested in the organization’s values, aims, and objectives. In addition, organisational commitment entails more than simply official membership because it also entails a favourable attitude towards the organisation and a readiness to exert a lot of work for its success (Nahak & Ellitan, 2022). The present study aims to find out the relationship between Organisational Climate and Institutional Commitment of school teachers teaching at secondary level of West Bengal. Numerous investigations have already employed coefficient of correlation, such as Mondal et al. (2018), Gorain et al. (2018), Gayen and Sen (2021), Sutradhar and Sen (2022a), Sutradhar and Sen (2022b), Mahato, Gayen and Mahato (2023c), Mahato and Sen (2023), Mahato, Gayen and Mahato (2023b), Mahato, Gayen and Mahato (2023a), Gayen, Sen and Adhikari (2023) etc. Another important element in the field of educational research is the Mahalanobis distance. Numerous studies in the field of educational research have already used Mahalanobis distance, such as Sen and Pal (2020), Ahmed et al. (2020), Ahmed et al. (2021), Mahato and Sen (2021), Gorain et al. (2021), Ahmed et al. (2022b), Ahmed et al. (2022a), Adhikari (2023), Sen et al. (2023), Mohanta et al. (2023b), Mohanta et al. (2023a) etc. Cluster analysis is a significant new advancement in the realm of educational research. Numerous studies in educational research have used it, such as Sen et al. (2023), Adhikari et al. (2023), Mohanta et al. (2023), Gorain et al. (2022), Saha, Sen and Adhikari (2021) etc. II. LITERATURE REVIEW Review on Organisational Climate According to a study by Mohanta et al. (2023), there is no significant correlation among the dynamic nature of the six main dimensions of Organisational Climate of secondary school teachers in West Bengal. In a study on Organisational Climate utilising cluster analysis, Mohanta et al. (2023) discovered that four clusters are identified based on the instructors’ opinions of the institutional climat e. Male teachers in rural and urban areas both respond similarly to the institutional climate. In order to understand and pinpoint trends in the different research and approaches used to examine school climate and student outcomes, Mohanta and Saha (2022) conducted a study on Organisational Climate in school education. The role institutional climate plays in establishing a value is critically examined. In a selected private university in South West Nigeria, Adeniji et al. (2018) conducted a study to ascertain the relationships between organisational climate and job satisfaction among academic staff members. The outcome showed that the success of these universities relied on their ability to influence the motivation, support, and level of job satisfaction of academic staff members. The work system used by process management and with the aid of action research to address issues in order to adopt and enhance was outlined in a paper by Marco Ferrerira et al. (2017). Review on Institutional Commitment In their study on Institutional Commitment, Mohanta et al. (2023) discovered that there was no discernible change in the
