Rapidly changing organizational environments, existence of work force diversity, nature of group dynamics and a host of allied factors affect organizational functioning. In organizations, the prevailing climate acts as a catalyst in revolutionizing the emotional competence and anxiety among employees. Similarly, emotional competence and anxiety of employees may also transform the climate. This study has been carried out to find out the interrelationship between organizational health and employees' mental health. It highlights the relevance of personal and organizational components in determining the anxiety and behavioral aspects of employees in organizations. The analysis of the whole correlated matrix indicates that some dimensions of the organization climate, anxiety and emotional competency, reveal a threshold relationship with each other. The paper proposes the cultivation of an emotional quotient and the desired organizational climate to enhance the employees' mental health visàvis the organizational effectiveness.

Rapidly changing organizational environments, existence of work force diversity, nature of group dynamics, need structures, attitudes, perceived pressures, personality dispositions of employees, etc., determine the degree of anxiousness to a large extent. The workplace itself may contribute to distress and, ultimately to mental disorders. This
notion dates to at least the 1930s, with studies examining the presence of 'inhale-able' toxic chemicals and employees emotionality (Tiffin, 1942). Too much work, poorly defined responsibilities, an unsupportive boss, lack of control, and many other factors can constitute stressors that, in turn, under the specific conditions can create sufficient strain such that a person becomes physically or mentally ill.

The present study has been conducted with supervisory personnel with a view to assess the mental health issues at work settings, particularly to study the personal and organizational correlates of anxiety. The study highlights that some of the dimensions of organizational climate (performance standards, reward system, decision-making process etc.) and emotional competency (adequate depth of feeling, encouragement of positive emotions etc.) have meaningful relationships with the anxiety level of the personnel.
