摘要：This paper investigates the impact of the organizational climate on competence-based compensation systems. These are two important components that bring advantage both to person and to organization. In order to measure such impact, a research questionnaire was developed using a quantitative, descriptive-statistical and exploratory method. It was elaborated using the seven dimensions of organizational climate as stated by Kolb (apud SOUZA, 1978) and sent by e-mail to Human Resource managers of 33 Brazilian organizations located in southeast and south. The results sustain that 65% of the researched professionals confirmed Kolb’s dimensions, except for complacency (57.5%). Our research indicated the hypothesis that competence-based compensation has an impact on organizational climate that cannot be rejected.
