Manual License to Use

As one of the Social Climate Scales, the primary uses of the MEI include: describing military units; comparing the perceptions of officers, NCOs, and enlisted members; monitoring changes over time; contrasting different units; and performing other evaluations. It measures involvement, peer cohesion, officer support, personal status, order and organization, clarity, and officer control.

FROM THE MEINS

"Like people, environments have unique personalities. Methods have been developed to describe an individual's personality; similarly, environments can be portrayed with considerable accuracy and detail.

For example, some people feel the need to control others; similarly, some environments are quite controlling. Order and structure are important to many people; correspondingly, many environments emphasize regularity and order. People make detailed plans that regulate and direct their behavior; likewise, environments have programs that regulate the behavior of the people in them.

In essence, the consensus of individuals in an environment provides a measure of social climate. The social climate moderates and mediates the impact of other contextual factors such as physical features and organizational policies and thereby exerts an influence on individual mood and behavior."
