### Organizational Climate in the Digital Context  
The study on organizational climate has gained significant attention, including particularly in the digital context in recent years [26; 27; 28]. These studies highlight the importance of organizational climate in facilitating digital transformation and innovation within organizations. Digital infrastructure has been recognized as a pivotal element in the digital transformation of organizations. It serves as the foundation for creating an organizational climate supportive of digitalization, enabling the adoption of new technologies and facilitating the evolution of work processes and practices. Digital infrastructure is not merely a technological construct but an unbounded, open, and evolving socio-technical system. It encompasses both technological and human components, networks, and systems [29; 30]. Furthermore, it refers to both applications of information and communication technologies and the associated infrastructure [31]. It is not confined to a specific set of functions nor restricted by strictly defined boundaries. Instead, it is relational in nature, implying that its functionalities and impacts are determined by the relationships and interactions within the system [30]. The digital infrastructure plays an important role in the digital economy by providing the necessary foundation upon which digital ventures and innovations are built. It facilitates connectivity, data management, and digital services that drive economic activities in the digital sphere. The robustness of an organization's digital infrastructure can significantly impact its efficiency, effectiveness, and innovative capabilities. A well-developed digital infrastructure forms the foundation for creating an organizational climatethat supports digital transformation, enabling employees to leverage new technologies and adapt to evolving work processes. Implementing cloud computing, big data, collaboration tools, or task automation technologies reshapes organizational climate facets, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of these dynamics. The implementation of collaborative tools and cloud computing technology changes the ways of cooperation among organizational teams [32]. Previous studies reveal the need to consider the organizational climate in agile teams, with communication and collaboration being fundamental to the organization of teams and performance. Digital communication and collaboration practices are indispensable in numerous contexts, suggesting that they enhance internal team dynamics and improve interactions with external stakeholders [33]. Organizations can guarantee that employees have the resources to communicate effectively with clients and partners by creating a robust connectivity environment. Process automation changes employees' perceptions of their work roles and organizational priorities. This shift in task allocation can influence the organizational climate by altering employees' shared perceptions of the organization policies and practices regarding technology use and job design [34]. [PERSON] (2023) supports this view, noting that data-driven task selection for automation can reshape employees' perceptions of organizational operations and technological integration [35]. Integrating data analytics into organizational processes can further refine the digital climate. It can influence employees' shared perceptions of how the organization values and utilizes data in decision-making processes. Data analytics can foster perceptions of increased collaboration and data-driven decision-making, potentially enhancing employee engagement with digital initiatives [36]. Cloud technologies, when incorporated into organizational systems, can significantly impact the digital climate. They can shape employees' perceptions of the organization's commitment to technological advancement and data accessibility [37]. The implementation of cloud infrastructure may influence employees' perceptions of the organization's policies and practices regarding data sharing and connectivity.
