Modelo sintetizado de cuestionario de clima organizacional para el sector salud en Chile y Ecuador

Abstract

The present study proposes a simplified questionnaire in terms of factors and items to measure organizational climate perceptions in health care institutions. A questionnaire is applied to a sample of 1018 health care professionals from the Maule region (Chile) and from Guayas (Ecuador). An exploratory factor analysis is conducted to formulate a system of factors and variables for the construct, which are confirmed by structural modeling and ratified by goodness of fit indices. As a result, the initial questionnaire is condensed into a construct containing 14 items grouped into two factors. The first factor, “internal management and job stability,” contains 8 correlated items and behaves as a causal factor. The second factor, “organizational tension and development,” is structured on the basis of 6 variables and behaves as an effect factor. It is concluded that variance and covariance factors confirm that the “internal management and job stability” factor inversely influences the “organizational tension and development” factor.
