ORGANIZATIONAL CLIMATE MANAGEMENT AS A RESPONSE TO TENSIONS BETWEEN PHYSICAL PRESENCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

Abstract

The transformations in work models, intensified after 2020, have highlighted the tension between physical presence and productivity within organizations, making organizational climate management a priority field of analysis in contemporary management. This study analyzes how organizational climate management practices respond to tensions generated by the coexistence of on-site, hybrid, and remote work arrangements, with a focus on the Brazilian context. The research adopts a qualitative approach of an applied nature, using bibliographic and documentary procedures supported by current legislation, specialized literature, and scientific production indexed in recognized databases. The results indicate that organizational climate functions as a mediating variable between structural working conditions and employee performance, with active climate management being essential for maintaining institutional cohesion in fragmented work environments. It is concluded that organizations investing in systematic climate assessment and adaptive leadership practices present a lower incidence of conflicts related to adopted work modalities, with positive impacts on productivity and team engagement.
