Abstract

The study evaluates and compares the organizational climate at MASISA S.A.'s headquarters in Ecuador and Chile. The Psychological Organizational Climate Instrument was applied to 100 employees (28 in Ecuador and 72 in Chile) during the months of May, June and July 2023. The instrument consists of 12 dimensions covering aspects such as companionship, leadership, innovation, job satisfaction, among others. The results indicated that the organizational climate at both sites was rated as very favorable, with an average score of 4.82 on a 5-point scale, with no significant differences between the two countries. However, a notorious difference was observed in the dimension "Perception of effort over performance", suggesting that in Ecuador there is a higher valuation of effort and work performance compared to Chile. These disparities may be influenced by cultural factors or specific work dynamics. The study not only contributes to the understanding of organizational climate in South American contexts, but it is also the first time that this measurement instrument has been used in these two countries, representing a significant advance for future research on the subject in the region.
