RELATIONSHIP OF ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITMENT TO TEAMWORK IN A MUNICIPALITY FROM PERU

Abstract

Purpose: The general objective was to determine the relationship between organizational commitment and teamwork in a municipality from Peru. Theoretical framework: The current literature has reported good findings on both organizational commitment and teamwork. However, there is still much to research and understand about OC and TE because it is an ever-evolving development. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative, applied, non-experimental, descriptive and correlational study was used, applying the questionnaires to 94 workers of the municipality. Findings: The results revealed that organizational commitment is deficient 73% and teamwork is deficient 78%, also, the p=0.000<0.05, indicating that the variables retain a highly significant correlation, also, it is evident that they reached a Rho=82.9%. Research, Practical & Social implications: We suggest a future research agenda and highlight the contributions made to organizational commitment and teamwork. Originality/value: the organizational commitment maintains a very strong positive correlation with teamwork, evidencing that by generating in the workers a sense of belonging with the institution, as long as the best collaborators are offered job growth options and very strong affective bonds are created, then an assertive communication is achieved through permanent dialogue, the communication flow is improved and with it the needs of the employees are recognized, impacting positively in the decision making process, since the planned goals have been realistic to the resources and abilities of the employees.
