The purpose of this research was to analyze the relationship between organizational climate and work performance in an organization of the commercial sector in the city of Cartagena, based on classical and contemporary motivational theories. The methodology used was quantitative, with a correlational and cross-sectional design. The sample for this study was 109 employees, selected by stratified sampling, and a structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The results showed a significant positive correlation between organizational climate and performance (r = 0.739, p < .01). Leadership (B = 0.462) and communication (B = 0.281) were the most influential factors. High levels of responsibility and attitude stand out, evidencing commitment and motivation in the collaborators. It is concluded that a favorable organizational environment promotes performance, so it is recommended to implement human management policies focused on improving leadership, communication and working conditions.
