Abstract: Motivation has a central role in achieving high performances within organizations. As the organizational climate can be closely correlated with employees’ motivation, providing a motivating environment in industrial firms depends on managers’ ability to create a supportive organizational climate. The main objective of this paper is to underline the most relevant dimensions of the organizational climate which increase employees’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, according to Herzberg's dual factors theory. In the light of this research, the investigation was based on quantitative research techniques, by means of a pilot questionnaire, using a non-probabilistic sample represented by employees and managers of industrial firms from Romania. By analyzing the relationships between organizational climate dimensions and motivation, the results will demonstrate the influence of organizational climate on the level of employees’ motivation. Considering the obtained results, there will be also proposed recommendations to create an organizational climate which could enhance employees’ motivation.
