Method:

Two valid and reliable questionnaires were applied to the context of the population, to collect the data of interest. The correlation analysis was performed with the Spearman statistician (rs) with a level of significance of 5%.

Results:

Of the total of 88 workers, 54,5% and 55,7% presented high and low transactional and transformational leadership respectively. The level of leadership of the manager of the micro-network was medium (50,0%) and the organizational climate of the workers was to improve (68,2%). The Spearman correlation coefficient (rs) showed a positive and significant relationship between the organizational climate and the transactional leadership (rs = 0,644, p = 0,000) and transformational leadership (rs = 0,660, p = 0,000).

Conclusions:
