Objective: This article presents the results of an evaluation of the organizational climate at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana School of Dentistry in Bogota, Colombia. Methods: A 67-item survey designed to measure perceptions was answered by 1093 members of the school community (students, professors, and staff). The dimensions of organizational climate included in the study were collaboration, commitment, ownership, respect, image, consistency, organizational plainness, resource availability, type of authority, recognition, teamwork, stability, and academic environment. Results: The descriptive analysis showed that the dimensions, sense of belonging, image, commitment and teamwork were favorably perceived within the school. The standard multiple regression analysis showed a significant correlation with 95 % of confidence regarding the perception of coherence, type of authority, and organizational transparency. These dimensions explain 48.5 % of perceived lower re spect. Conclusions: diagnostic evaluation showed the importance of developing a plan for improving the organizational climate including the three groups of participants surveyed. Another very important actor for the school climate is the patient. Therefore, it was planned to apply a survey to patients attending the school’s clinical facilities.
