Estado actual de la investigación en psicología organizacional y del trabajo en Colombia.

Resumen

A partir de una conceptualización de la psicología de las organizaciones y del trabajo (POT) se describen los temas y problemas del campo a nivel global y el rol de la investigación. Posteriormente se presenta el estado actual de la investigación en POT en Colombia, sus límites y posibilidades futuras. Con base en lo reportado por el sistema de información de COLCIENCIAS, se analizan las características y aspectos comunes de los ocho grupos de investigación en POT, de los cuales dos están categorizados, tres reconocidos y tres registrados. A continuación se presentan la agenda y reflexiones de los tres encuentros de la Red de Investigadores en POT en Colombia. Se concluye que son grandes los avances, en especial en los dos últimos años. A la vez, preocupan el bajo número de investigadores con nivel de maestría y doctorado en POT y la pobre relación entre los grupos de investigación y las organizaciones-empresas para realizar proyectos de investigación de interés nacional.
