Cultura organizacional y desempeño en instituciones de educación superior: implicaciones en las funciones sustantivas de formación, investigación y extensión

Abstract

The fieldwork of this research was carried out in a higher education institution in Navojoa, Sonora (México). Inside it a diagnostic model of organizational culture which refers to seven indicators was applied. These determine a culture of innovation in the performance of its substantive functions. In particular, the instrument adapted by Sánchez (2010) from the work of Cameron and Quinn (1999) was implemented. This was done in order to identify any cultural elements that limit or facilitate the implementation of a proposal for improving the performance. As result, it was found that in organizational culture there are no elements to impede the process when the members of top management team assume the commitment. As a function of the foregoing, it is recommended that the proposal include a sensitization phase at the beginning.
