Relación entre el liderazgo y el diseño del trabajo en una Institución de Educación Superior (IES) de Barranquilla : una perspectiva desde la cultura organizacional
Given the recent changes in leadership within a Higher Education Institution (HEI) in the city of Barranquilla, along with its positioning in terms of academic quality, research, and employability, this study sought to explore the relationship between leadership and work design, and how these dynamics manifest within the context of its organizational culture. The literature review revealed a lack of studies explicitly addressing the relationship among these three variables. A total of 42 leaders from the HEI participated in the study. The results demonstrate a positive relationship between leadership and the motivational characteristics of work, possibly influenced by the organizational culture present in the HEI. The implications of this finding are discussed in relation to the development of leadership programs aligned with the desired organizational culture and work design models.
