Work Culture at Public University in Central Mexico

Abstract

The work culture is a nodal process in the success story of companies in the face of contingencies or potential risks. The objective of this work was to explore the dimensions of the work culture in micro, small and medium-sized companies in a town in Medellín, Colombia. An exploratory, psychometric and cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of 100 employees of local companies considering alliances with educational institutions. The results corroborate the theoretical model consisting of five factors related to tasks-people, innovations-change, hierarchy-authority. individualism-collectivism and security-stability. In relation to the state of the question where labor culture stands out as a factor of competitiveness and productivity policies, the scope and limits of the study are discussed and lines of confirmation of the theoretical model are recommended.
