As past researchers confirmed, more than any other type of organization, higher education institutions are dependent on the intellectual capital and commitment of their staff. That means, in order to be benefited from the production of Higher Learning Institutions, the existence of satisfied academic staff should be in place. In other words, it is the satisfied employee who can be more committed for the achievement of end results of organizations than the unsatisfied one. The objective of the study is to examine the impact of organizational climate on job satisfaction of academic staff the case of private universities found in Addis Ababa city. The study identifies seven dimensions of organizational climate (leadership and management, participation in decision making, pay and benefit, over all human relation, working condition, employee wellness ad corporate image) and investigates their influence on job satisfaction. To do so, the study has employed a cross-sectional study design with an explanatory and descriptive design in interpretation of the data collected through self-administered questionnaire. Accordingly, three private universities have been taken as the study sample through stratified sampling method. A randomly selected 240 instructors were participated in the study whose academic rank ranges from professor to graduate assistant. The analysis is made by making use of descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression model and ANOVA.
