The research was basic, descriptive and correlational. The sampling type was not probabilistic and included 110 teachers in total between male and female from elementary and high school levels; 60 teachers from San Pio X Private School and 50 teachers from Rosa de Lima Public Educational Institution in San Jeronimo. The instruments applied were: Social climate scales at work (WES), which assess the existing social environment in various workplaces and the job performance inventory. The research findings determined a significant relationship between organizational climate and job performance of teachers from San Pio X Private School Institution and Rosa de Lima Public Educational Institution, from San Jeronimo (r Pearson value of 0,71). The organizational climate is a determining factor in teacher’s competencies and factors affecting their performance; and involves a constant reference to their members regarding their staying in the organization. Therefore, a favorable climate within the scope of work will lead to the predisposition of a great job, which has a positive impact on teaching, student learning and the generation of new knowledge.
