Objective. To determine the relationship between organizational climate and work-related stress among medical staff at a hospital in Lima, Peru. Methods. An observational, cross-sectional, and correlational study was conducted among physicians at a hospital in Lima (Peru). The sample population consisted of 76 physicians who completed a survey that included the Multidimensional Organizational Climate Scale for Health Personnel and the Medical Staff Occupational Stress Scale. Results. For both the variable "organizational climate" and the variable "work-related stress," the moderate level was the most frequent, reported by 48.7% and 54.0% of the hospital's physicians, respectively. A significant correlation was found between "organizational climate" and "work-related stress" among the medical staff (rho = 0.82; p = 0.001). Conclusions. There is a significant, strong, and positive relationship between organizational climate and each of the dimensions of work-related stress among the medical staff at the hospital in Lima, Peru.
