In the context of a Chilean health sector undergoing a process of transformations, it was proposed to create a validated questionnaire to measure the organizational climate in high complexity hospitals. In order to prepare it, dimensions and variables by diverse authors were identified and diverse questionnaires, validations and constructs used in different proposals at the international level were reviewed. The research is descriptive, quantitative and inferential and it was conducted on a database of 561 hospital employees, to whom a questionnaire was applied, through a personalized interview at their work place, consisting of 71 variables grouped in 14 dimensions. The application of the instrument, as well as the validity and reliability studies, allowed giving origin to a new validated questionnaire with 10 factors and 44 high-reliability reagents that explain 52.181 % of the total variance, reaching a total Cronbach's alpha 0.89.

Keywords : organizational climate; behavioral sciences; behavioral disciplines and activities; behavioral research; social psychology; psychological interview.
