to take action or express behaviors derived from the success or failure of the individual to<br />

the purposes or goals that arise and their results in feelings of happiness or sadness at work<br />

(Morales and Gomez, 2009). The self-perception of individual success or failure suggests<br />

an effect in the group, particularly in the forms of interaction in the organizational climate.<br />

In this way it is possible to perceive a natural relationship between achievement motivation<br />

and organizational climate; the previous studies in most cases used a quantitative approach<br />

to demonstrate its existence, so the purpose of this research is to generate qualitative<br />

evidence of the relationship between achievement motivation and organizational climate in<br />

the case study of a small service business in the State of Mexico.<br />

The results indicate that worker participation in decision-making is lacking in particular<br />

those relating to the welfare of the worker. This lack of interference denotes the lack of<br />

effective working relationships between all departments in the company and, a possible<br />

reason that very few people take the initiative to create and drive improvements that can<br />

make processes more efficient in achieving organizational objectives, thus evidenced the<br />

relationship between achievement motivation in specific for results motivation and<br />

interpersonal relationships at work as part of the organizational climate.<br />

Introducción<br />

La motivación al logro es una variable que se ha estudiado en las disciplinas<br />

organizacionales y psicológicas bajo un enfoque científico. Este concepto en palabras de<br />

Morales y Gómez (2009) determina los motivos o razones por los que el ser humano es<br />

impulsado a realizar acciones o a manifestar comportamientos particulares.<br />

En el caso de las organizaciones, independientemente de su tamaño y giro, adquiere<br />

importancia cuando la persona determina una relación entre sus éxitos o fracasos, en razón<br />

de propósitos específicos o metas particulares, y sentimientos de felicidad o tristeza.<br />

De esta forma, la consecución de un propósito es determinante de la autopercepción de<br />

felicidad y éxito personal, mientras que de fracasar, la persona tiende a la búsqueda de<br />

causas particulares de tal resultado; sin embargo, esta búsqueda de razones atribuibles del<br />

fracaso depende de factores relacionadas con la experiencia pasada tanto en la formación<br />

personal como en la realización de la tarea, lo que implica reacciones positivas de<br />

aprendizaje de la vivencia o de congelamiento ante el resultado adverso.<br />

El trabajo de Manassero y Vázquez (1997 y 1998, retomado por Morales & Gómez, 2009)<br />
