Impacto percibido del liderazgo, la comunicación, la confianza y la efectividad del equipo en el clima organizacional : un caso de estudio en el área de mantenimiento de Gases de Occidente S.A. E.S.P.

This study examines how leadership, communication, trust, and team effectiveness interact in shaping the organizational climate within the Maintenance area of Gases de Occidente S.A. E.S.P., an operational environment characterized by high performance demands. The research aimed to determine the extent to which managerial practices and communicative dynamics influence employees’ perceptions of their work environment, levels of trust, and team cohesion. A mixed-methods design was implemented under a non-experimental, cross-sectional framework, based on measurements collected at a single point in time. The methodological strategy combined the administration of the standardized instruments Team Effectiveness Questionnaire (TEQ) and Trust in Leaders (TIL) to a sample of employees, together with focus groups conducted through the LEGO® Serious Play® approach, which enabled a deeper understanding of participants’ experiences and shared interpretations. Results indicate that overall team effectiveness is perceived as favorable; nevertheless, this general assessment coexists with notable internal variability associated with communication gaps, inconsistencies in feedback processes, and limitations in affective trust toward leadership. These conditions contribute to the formation of localized work climates that may weaken the overall organizational climate despite the achievement of operational targets. The document is organized into six chapters: the first presents the research problem; the second develops the theoretical and regulatory framework; the third describes the methodological design; the fourth reports quantitative and qualitative findings; the fifth discusses the results in relation to the literature; and the sixth presents conclusions and recommendations oriented toward continuous organizational improvement in maintenance contexts. The researcher determines that leadership and communication serve as structural determinants that significantly influence the creation of the organization’s climate. It provides recommendations for how to enhance work management, build team cohesiveness, and improve performance in a sustainable fashion based upon both the organization and individuals’ perspectives.
