This article reports the results of a field study conducted on a population of 170 employees of Colas Rail Morocco considered as a leader in the construction and maintenance of transport infrastructure, these results from this empirical study constitute an exploratory test to know closely the state of mind of a population of employees in a sector in full movement. This study thus provides empirical evidence for the basic models of social climate theory, highlighting the impact of working conditions, internal communication, training and career management on human resource behavior and motivation, depending on how these factors are received, perceived and converted by employees. It should be noted that direct linkage models are not rich enough inside information to support the relationship between social climate factors and motivation, hence the need to consider other factors in future research.
