The methodology foresees the use of the Organizational Climate Research technique, where the variables that appeared to be relevant for the description of this case study were analysed. The results found allow to conclude that the workers of the LAC perceive their internal climate in different ways, and that the feeling of professional achievement, the personal satisfaction and the declared wish of improving the environment in the very department it is compound of, showing themselves as indicative of a positive Organizational climate. However, some negative aspects became evident, giving special attention to the impossibility of professional growth, the lack of recognition for the job performed and the Laboratory premises.
