Abstract :
The organizations are attaching great importance to human resources because human resources are the biggest source of competitive advantage and have the capability of converting all the other resources into product and services. The effective performance of this human resource depends on the type of HRD climate that prevails in the organization, if it is better in that case the employee’s performance will be high but if it is average or poor then the performance will be low. The study of HRD climate is very important for all the organizations and the Education sector is not an exception, especially in the present situation of grooming of professional studies. The present study is an attempt to find out the difference in perception of male and female employees about HRD climate in management institutes. The researcher collected the data from the employees of the management institute using structured HRD climate questionnaire. The data were analyzed using various statistical tools. The result shows that the HRD climate in management institutes is average and the perception of employees regarding the HRD climate does not differ significantly on the basis of gender.
