Organizational culture in teachers at the Adventist educational institution El Redentor

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the level of perception of the organizational culture in the teachers of the Adventist Educational Institution "El Redentor". The study is descriptive with a non-experimental design and it is cross-sectional. To measure the perception of organizational culture in a sample of 50 teachers, the Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS) instrument was used, consisting of the dimensions: consistency, implication, adaptability and mission, with an acceptable internal consistency of a = 0.942. To obtain the results, central measurement statistics were applied. Regarding the demographic characteristics of the teachers, it was found that the majority are female between 36 and 45 years of age, with a work experience of 8 years or more and a graduate degree level of education. Both the organizational culture and its dimensions were perceived at a moderate level, this implies that teachers see culture as a competitive advantage that transmits a sense of identity and commitment in themselves.
