Satisfacción laboral y compromiso organizacional: estudio comparativo en una empresa con operación global. (Spanish)

MEXICO; LATIN America

This research aimed to determine the correlation between job satisfaction and organizational commitment of the staff of a Latin American agribusiness company located in southern Mexico. This study was exploratory, descriptive and correlational, and had the participation of the 36 employees of this small company. We found that the employees of agribusiness are satisfied but with no commitment defined. Employees perceived that their income was not proportional to the amount of work done, and the company does not recognize their work. The agribusiness staff has not defined its commitment because the workers do not identify with the company and its objectives in order to increase their sense of belonging. Moreover, no relationship was found between job satisfaction and organizational commitment. It is suggested to implement a variable pay program linked to a program of employee participation, in order to increase job satisfaction, achieve greater organizational commitment and thus, increase the productivity of the company to benefit the economic development of the locality and Mexico.

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo determinar si existe relación entre la satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizacional del personal de una empresa agroindustrial latinoamericana ubicada en el sur de México. Este estudio fue exploratorio, descriptivo y correlacional, y participaron un total de 36 empleados que conforman la empresa. Se encontró que el personal de la agroindustria se encuentra satisfecho pero no tiene defi nido su grado de compromiso. Los empleados percibieron que sus ingresos no son proporcionales al volumen de trabajo que realizan y manifiestan que no existe reconocimiento a su labor. El personal de la agroindustria no tiene definido su compromiso porque le falta identificarse más con la empresa y sus objetivos, asimismo necesita incrementar su sentido de pertenencia. Por otra parte, no se encontró relación entre la satisfacción laboral y el compromiso organizacional. Se sugiere implementar un programa de pago variable vinculado a un programa de participación de los empleados, con la finalidad de incrementar la satisfacción laboral, lograr un mayor compromiso organizacional y por tanto aumentar la productividad de la empresa, en beneficio del desarrollo económico de la localidad y de México.
