Abstract: For the SMEs (small and medium enterprises), it is necessary to know how workers perceive their environment, with the goal to improve their administration and avoid facing problems that may make them vulnerable. The PYMES are the motor of Mexico´s economy, and their productivity depends on their personnel. The importance of this motivated the development of an investigation where inventory was used to measure the organizational climate, applied to the company´s Catering Gourmet of Durango, Mexico population. This permitted us to learn the worker´s perception of the environment that exists in the organization. The study was quantitative. The objectives of the study were: to learn the organizational climate that workers perceived, determine the influence that leadership practices in the rest of the organizational climate factors; and generate recommendations about leadership. The most relevant result was the strong relationship between leadership and other components of organizational climate.
