Condiciones de causalidad entre la gestión de los recursos humanos y la cultura organizacional : un estudio empírico en el contexto industrial colombiano.

Resumen

La gestión de los recursos humanos es el marco estratégico de la cultura organizacional. Por tanto, el presente estudio pretende identificar el impacto recíproco entre la cultura organizacional y la gestión de recursos humanos. Para esto se construyen dos modelos: uno para el análisis de la gestión de recursos humanos y otro para el análisis de la cultura organizacional. El estudio se contrasta en 199 empresas industriales de Colombia. Para el procesamiento de la información se utilizaron modelos multivariados con énfasis en análisis factorial confirmatorio –CFA- y modelos de ecuaciones estructurales –SEM-. Como principal hallazgo se identifica que la tipología cultural del mercado incide significativamente en las prácticas de recursos humanos tales como el aprovisionamiento, la capacitación y la carrera.
