Relación entre el clima organizacional y la productividad operativa en la empresa de faenamiento avicola "Superpollos" del cantón Morona

Abstract

The study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational climate and operational productivity as perceived by workers at the poultry processing company “Superpollos” in Morona Canton, as well as to analyze the explanatory capacity of organizational climate using simple linear regression. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational scope, a non-experimental design, and a cross-sectional approach. Thirty-six workers from a population of 40 participated in the study. A five-point Likert-scale questionnaire was administered and validated through the judgment of six experts. Reliability was excellent for both organizational climate (α = 0.964) and operational productivity (α = 0.962). Organizational climate was analyzed through the dimensions of communication, leadership, teamwork, and working conditions. According to Spearman’s rho, teamwork showed the strongest bivariate association with productivity (rho = 0.843; p < 0.001), followed by communication (rho = 0.722; p < 0.001) and leadership (rho = 0.717; p = 0.001); working conditions did not reach statistical significance (rho = 0.326; p = 0.052). Simple linear regression showed a strong positive relationship between organizational climate and productivity (R = 0.952; R² = 0.906; F(1, 34) = 325.977; p < 0.001). It is concluded that a favorable organizational climate is strongly associated with higher levels of operational productivity, although the results should be interpreted without attributing causality.
