Regarding remote leadership, employees showed high satisfaction, especially in the dimensions of leadership (77.27%), commitment (59.09%), competencies (59.09%), and e-social and communication skills (77.27%). However, aspects such as motivation, working conditions, conflict resolution and teamwork presented areas of improvement in the organizational climate, with a (4.55%). A positive and significant relationship was found between remote leadership and organizational climate,  with a Rho of Spearman of 0.869 (95% CI and p <0.001), suggesting that effective remote leadership can contribute to a more favorable organizational climate in the financial institution studied
