El rendimiento académico de estudiantes universitarios del área de psicología: relaciones con el clima organizacional

Abstract

The research was oriented to identify the relationship between the academic performance of students in the area of psychology in a public university of Colombia and organizational climate. A correlational and descriptive methodology was developed, with a transactional and non-experimental field scheme. The population nucleus consisted of four (4) managers, fifteen (15) teachers and seventy-nine (79) students. The survey was applied as a tool and three closed questionnaires, with a Lickert type scale version, were designed as instruments and were composed of 51 items. The results allowed to determine that the studied variables: organizational climate and academic performance within the university selected for the study are closely linked, coinciding in some aspects between teachers, students and managers and differing in others. As a conclusion, there are tensions in the organizational climate as a consequence of the management styles, for which, it is recommended the implementation of a set of strategies to improve the working environment conditions and with this, the academic performance of the students.
