Abstract

Seeking to improve their production processes, organizations can find a competitive advantage against the competition, which is increasingly larger and more present in any type of market. Unlike other times, the current scenario brings a more dynamic approach, focused on human capital. Employees are those who give life to an organization and should be valued by its managers. In addition to the financial reward, the organization must give due emphasis to its values and wishes. In this sense, much has been discussed about spirituality and its influence in the corporate environment. Once employees identify with the values practiced by the organization, they feel part of it and experience greater satisfaction in being part of its permanent staff. This research postulates that the organizational climate, which represents the quality of an organization's internal environment and the interpersonal relationships that permeate it, tends to be better in a spiritualized environment. Thus, this study aims to highlight the relationship between in a corporate environment and the quality of its organizational climate. For this purpose, two questionnaires were applied to a sample of ten employees with activities related to management in a higher education institution, one of them linked to spirituality and the other linked to organizational climate, thus comparing the averages of the results obtained in both. From the results obtained, it is highlighted that spirituality has a strong impact in the organizational climate in the company where this research was carried out.
