Abstract : In many cases, low motivation is caused by an organizational climate that is not conducive and the competence of the people in the organization does not match the needs of the organization which is facing the demands of today's rapid changes. In this study, competence is placed as a variable that moderates the effect of organizational climate on motivation. The reason is that it is very difficult to motivate someone if the person concerned is not competent at work. Therefore, it is very important to know in advance the competencies possessed by an employee and place them in the appropriate job. Thus the organization can motivate its employees in the direction the organization wants to achieve. This study aims to analyze the relationship between organizational climate and motivation as well as the moderating effect of competency variables on this relationship in regional drinking water company in Palu City (PDAM Kota Palu).

The study results indicated that organizational climate and competency variables have a positive effect on motivational variables and competency variables have a positive moderating effect, but not significant on the relationship between organizational climate variables and motivational variables
