Dinas Kesehatan Kabupaten Bandung Barat (Dinkes KBB) adalah Satuan Kerja Perangkat Daerah (SKPD) Kabupaten Bandung Barat yang bertugas untuk menyediakan dan memberikan pelayanan kepada masyarakat dalam area kesehatan. Tugas dan fungsinya sangat penting bagi kehidupan masyarakat sehingga pegawai Dinas Kesehatan perlu memberikan performa kerja yang maksimal dalam pelayanannya. Berdasarkan pengambilan data awal, pegawai Dinkes KBB menyatakan sejumlah keluhan ketika mereka berinteraksi dengan elemen-elemen organisasi. Motivasi kerja pegawai juga nampak belum optimal sehingga mempengaruhi performa kerja mereka untuk menjalankan program kerja. Berdasarkan data ini maka dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui pengaruh iklim psikologis terhadap motivasi kerja pegawai Dinkes KBB dengan pendekatan goal setting theory. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan pendekatan hypothetico deductive dengan metode kausalitas non eksperimental. Pengambilan data dilakukan dengan teknik self report dengan menggunakan kuesioner. Jenis teknik sampling yang digunakan adalah proportionate sampling method di mana partisipan diambil dari setiap stratum dalam proporsi yang representatif terhadap populasi. Total jumlah partisipan adalah sebanyak 61 orang. Data diolah menggunakan analisis regresi linier sederhana dengan bantuan program SPSS 20 Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat korelasi positif antara kedua variabel namun iklim psikologis tidak berpengaruh terhadap motivasi kerja pegawai Dinkes KBB. Iklim psikologis dipersepsi moderately favorable dan motivasi kerja pegawai tergolong kategori sedang/moderat. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian maka disusun sebuah rancangan intervensi yang dapat meningkatkan baik iklim psikologis maupun motivasi kerja pegawai sehingga tetap dapat dilakukan upaya optimalisasi performa kerja pegawai Dinkes KBB. Saran untuk penelitian selanjutnya adalah melibatkan variabel work attitude yang dapat menjadi perantara iklim psikologis dan motivasi kerja.
