Traditionally, an atomic spin orientation is achieved by a transfer of angular momentum from the polarised light to the atoms. We demonstrate the mechanism of orientation generation in room-temperature caesium vapours that combines three elements: optical pumping, non-linear spin dynamics and spin-exchange collisions. Through the variation of the spin-exchange relaxation rate transition between aligned and oriented atomic sample is presented. The observation is performed by monitoring of the atomic radio-frequency spectra.
