Identificación de la congruencia de valores como elementos relevantes de la cultura organizacional en la empresa Novacero.

Abstract

The study of organizational culture has become a fundamental axis to achieve competitive advantage, and like any other variable it must be measured. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to measure one of its components through the congruence of organizational and individual values of the Novacero company, through the application of the APO instrument that was duly validated in Ecuador. The instrument allows the measurement of three different dimensions, person-organization adjustment, conflict of values and recognition of values, which are measured independently. The application of the tool to the 1077 members of the organization, obtained as a result that at a general level there is a high degree of congruence of values. In the correlation analysis it was evidenced that there are statistically significant correlations between adjustment, conflict and recognition. The highest correlation was between recognition and adjustment, which is directly proportional, which denotes that the employee knows his organization, understands his responsibilities and works towards the fulfillment of the company's objectives. Finally, through statistical analysis at the local and regional level, it was possible to show that despite being a large industrialist, a dominant organizational culture prevails.
