Abstract: This paper explored the relationship between organizational climate and employee involvement in organizations in Mainland China. After clarifying the constructs of organizational climate and employee involvement, the study conducted one way ANOVA and regression analyses to examine how organizational climate influenced employee involvement in organizations. Data were collected through surveys that were administered to 148 organizations throughout Mainland China. The results showed that significant geographical difference was found in employee involvement. Non S.O.E.'s had significantly higher scores in employee involvement than those of the S. O. E.'s. Non bureaucratic, supportive and communicative climates were the strongest predictors of the employee involvement. The results of this empirical study helped the management of Chinese organizations in effectively implementing the employee involvement programs.

Key words: organizational climate, employee involvement, ANOVA and regression analyses
