The primary objective of the current study has been to assess the impact of a positive organizational climate on organizational embeddedness. It intends to foresee whether the following elements of organizational climate i.e. perceived organizational support, trust, and procedural justice result in fostering organizational embeddedness or not. For this, data had been collected from employees of different organizations in Pakistan, particularly Karachi. The sample size for the study is 411 while only those employees had been contacted who have spent at least a year in the current organization. Moreover, the data from employees have been gathered through a questionnaire and then the results have been assessed using SPSS and Smart PLS. The results depict a positive relationship between organizational climate and organizational embeddedness. Thus, the study implies that if organizations want to embed their employees, then they should ensure the provision of support, trust, and procedural justice.
