Abstract

The relation between Values Congruence and Working Environment in the public company “Empresa Pública Metropolitana de Agua Potable y Saneamiento "(EMAPS) is what I sought to determine with this project, through the application of instruments that have been validated for the Ecuadorian context. It is necessary to specify the relationship that exists between personal and organizational values has been defined as Values Congruence, using for this research the Values Congruence Model proposed by Liedktka (1989), which also make reference Ramos, Jordao and Morais (2012) and Mejia (2016). In this model is identified three aspects: Value Adjustment, Values Conflict and Values Recognition. The analysis, based on these aspects, was made in order to identify the actual state Values Congruence of the EPMAPS. After that, starting from conception of working environment planned by Kaur Randhawa (2014) that is the perception that each worker influence of the working environment in which it operates; and that from the relationships established between employees can define other levels of shared perceptions and can be present also in difference like position, group or organization, the identification of perception of Working Climate in the company was made, also considering the concept Climate Force. Finally, considering the arguments proposed by Goncalves (2000) about the existence of a kind of circuit between Working Climate, Worker Behavior and Values, and using the statistical software SPSS 18, it was possible to do the analysis about the associated factors between Values Congruence and the perception of Working Climate.
