Organizational culture for enterprise sustainability

Abstract

Organizational culture studies are becoming increasingly relevant in the enterprise world, since its approach shows the reality of the organization as subjectivized by its workers. On the other hand, sustainability as a concept associated with organizational growth and development adopts, with more strength, principles and values that translate into the search for equity, social and economic justice, as well as respect for nature, aspects that need to be connected with the organizational dynamics that are generated from the cultural reality that the enterprise lives. The objective of this research is to design a socio-psychological training program for the transformation of cultural patterns in a recyclable material processing enterprise. For such purposes, a mixed research approach is used, where the quantitative stage corresponds to a descriptive transectional design and the qualitative stage to a participative action-research design. The results show that communication, management and interpersonal relationships are the cultural patterns that have a negative impact on human resource management. Based on this result, the training program is designed and implemented, validated by national and international experts. The implementation of the program shows indicators of positive change in the organization and constitutes a starting point for future research related to the subject, recognizing the importance of organizational culture in the process of human resources management for the achievement of enterprise sustainability.
