Sažetak: Radna klima na radnom mjestu utječe na ponašanje zaposlenika. Pozitivna radna klima djeluje motivirajuće i pridonosi ostvarivanju postavlje­nih ciljeva poduzeća i obratno, loša radna klima djeluje demotivirajuće za za­poslenika čime se smanjuje njihova radna perfomanca. Stoga, radno okruže­nje je izazov menadžmentu koji treba pronaći odgovarajuće alate i primjenji­vati motivacijske tehnike s kojima će unaprjeđivati radnu klimu i promicati or­ganizacijsku kulturu. Cilj rada je spoznati razinu zadovoljstva zaposlenika ra­dom klimom i uvjetima poslovanja, te identificirati eventualno negativne čim­benike koje utječu na zaposlenike. U radu se analiziraju rezultati provedenog istraživanja putem anketnog upitnika na 36 ispitanika i njihovom stavu u od­nosu na radnu okolinu. U radu su korištene znanstvene metode analize, sinte­ze i deskripcije kao i istraživačka metoda anketiranja. Rezultati istraživanja bit će koristan alat menadžmentu u identifikaciji svih čimbenika koji unazađuju pozitivnu radnu klimu kao i identifikaciju onih čimbenika koji se trebaju nje­govati i razvijati, jer stvaraju zadovoljstvo zaposlenika i pozitivan stav u poslu.

Abstract: The work climate in the workplace affects the behaviour of employ­ees. A positive working climate is stimulating and contributes to the achieve­ment of the company’s goals, and vice versa, in the case when a bad working climate begins to be demotivating for employees, it reduces their work per­formances. Consequently, the working environment represents a challenge for its management, which needs to find appropriate tools and apply moti­vational techniques which will improve the work climate and promote organ­izational culture. This work aims to find out the level of employee satisfaction within the work climate and business conditions and to identify possibly neg­ative factors that affect employees. This paper analyses the results of the re­search that was carried out employing a questionnaire on 36 respondents and their attitude towards the working environment. In the paper were ap­plied scientific methods of analysis, along with the surveying research meth­od. The results of the research will be a useful tool for the management when identifying all the factors that hinder a positive work climate, as well as for the identification of those factors that need to be fostered and developed because they create employee satisfaction and their positive attitude towards work.
