The organizational climate, due to its influence on the behavior of workers, has become a phenomenon that has aroused the interest of researchers and the management of organizations. In order to better understand the characteristics of the organizational climate and, thus, enable the climate management process, a precise and valid diagnostic method must be adopted by the actors who propose to develop practices on this phenomenon. In view of this need, the present academic work, in the format of a technical product, has the general objective of proposing an instrumental method for diagnosing organizational climate for the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte - UFRN. To support this proposal, a research was carried out, configured as exploratory and descriptive, with a mixed approach, with the purpose of mapping the practices of diagnosis and management of the organizational climate in IFES in the national territory, in order to get to know the national panorama on the topic in question, and carry out a survey of the instruments used by these IFES. Of a total of 67 IFES considered in the aforementioned research, only six stated that they have the practice of diagnosing organizational climate in an institutionalized way in the organization. To achieve the general objective of this academic production, due to the failure to send the climate instruments informed in the research by the IFES, instruments were raised in the literature to analyze a group of judges from the proposed institution to evaluate organizational climate instruments. Four instruments were analyzed and evaluated, one of which was chosen by this group as the most suitable to be used by UFRN, in the climate diagnosis process.
