ABSTRACT
The climate within an organisation can be measured and managed, according to D. McClelland. Once it became clear that there was a measurable relationship between the working climate in an organisation, motivation, and results, his work attracted a lot of attention. The notion of the working climate comes originally from social psychology. In this context, working climate is defined as "the prevailing atmosphere in the workplace, the department, or the team as it is experienced by the employees". The influence of the values, attitudes, and beliefs at work within the company should not be underestimated: in other words, the culture of the organisation. Employees are proud to work for this organisation, this team. Employees are particularly loyal to the organisation and its objectives if there is a high level of commitment. People need to feel that others take notice of them, recognise them, both at work and in other areas.
