Objective: To analyze the relationship between organizational climate and work satisfaction among health staff working in a health institution.
Methods: This is a transversal analytic correlational study in a unit primary health care. The size of the sample was 182 workers who answered to an Organizational Climate Scale constituted by the following dimensions: interpersonal relations, style of direction, sense of belonging, retribution, resources availability, clarity and coherence in the direction, stability and collective values, and who also answered a Questionnaire of Work Satisfaction constituted by the following satisfaction factors: with the supervision, the physical environment, the retributions received, the participation, and the intrinsic working activity. An informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Results: The majority of the respondents suggested an organizational climate which can be improved (56%), and a satisfying working environment (40.7%) or a very satisfying one (46.2%). A moderate significant correlation was found between organizational climate and work satisfaction (rs = 0.205; p = 0.05).
Discussion: The correlation found in this study was similar to other correlations reported in other studies, suggesting that a better organizational climate would result in higher work satisfaction among the workers.
Conclusions: A positive correlation was found between the perception of organizational climate and work satisfaction among health workers.
