Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre la cultura de seguridad organizacional y la satisfacción laboral de los trabajadores en el ámbito de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo. Materiales y Métodos: Esta investigación empleó un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño descriptivo transversal para evaluar las dimensiones de cultura organizacional y satisfacción laboral de trabajadores en empresas de los sectores salud e industrial de Barranquilla, Atlántico, durante el período de febrero a noviembre de 2024. Se utilizó el Cuestionario Nórdico sobre seguridad en el trabajo para la recolección de datos. El análisis se realizó mediante librerías de Python seleccionadas cuidadosamente, incluyendo Pandas para manipulación de datos, NumPy para cálculos estadísticos, Matplotlib y Seaborn para visualizaciones, y expresiones regulares para asegurar la consistencia de los datos. El análisis estadístico se estructuró en dos dimensiones: percepción de seguridad y satisfacción laboral. Para la percepción de seguridad, se construyeron tablas de frecuencia para comprender la gestión de seguridad desde la perspectiva de los empleados. El análisis de satisfacción laboral implicó la transformación de respuestas a una escala Likert de 7 puntos, permitiendo un análisis estadístico más preciso. Se calcularon estadísticos descriptivos como media, desviación estándar, valores mínimos y máximos para cada ítem, proporcionando una visión integral de los factores que influyen en las percepciones de los empleados. Resultados: El análisis de los datos reveló hallazgos significativos en cuanto a la autopercepción de salud, la percepción de seguridad laboral y la satisfacción en el trabajo. En primer lugar, la mayoría de los participantes (71.95%) reportó una salud "muy buena" o "buena", lo que sugiere un bienestar general positivo entre los trabajadores. En cuanto a la percepción de seguridad, se observaron resultados mixtos. Por un lado, el 70.73% de los trabajadores consideró que las rutinas de seguridad son efectivas. Sin embargo, el 50% expresó desacuerdo con la capacidad de la dirección para manejar adecuadamente la seguridad. Además, mientras que el 79.27% de los empleados sintió que tiene influencia en temas de seguridad, solo el 50% estuvo de acuerdo en que participa en las decisiones relacionadas con la seguridad. Respecto a la satisfacción laboral, los factores con mayor nivel de satisfacción fueron la temperatura, la autonomía en el trabajo y el apoyo de los superiores. No obstante, aspectos como la justicia en la empresa y la iluminación obtuvieron puntuaciones más bajas, indicando áreas de mejora. La distribución del índice de satisfacción laboral mostró una concentración en niveles altos, con la mayoría de los valores entre 3.8 y 4.8 en una escala de 5 puntos. Estos resultados sugieren que, si bien existe una percepción generalmente positiva de la seguridad y satisfacción laboral, hay áreas específicas que requieren atención para mejorar el entorno laboral y la cultura de seguridad en las organizaciones estudiadas. Conclusión: El estudio revela una relación compleja entre la cultura de seguridad organizacional y la satisfacción laboral. Aunque se observa una percepción de salud generalmente positiva y una satisfacción laboral relativamente alta, existen áreas críticas que requieren atención. Se identificó una divergencia significativa en las percepciones sobre la gestión de la seguridad, con una desconfianza notable en la capacidad de la dirección para manejar adecuadamente la seguridad, a pesar de la valoración positiva de las rutinas de seguridad. La satisfacción laboral varía según los aspectos evaluados, con altas puntuaciones en confort ambiental y autonomía, pero oportunidades de mejora en aspectos organizacionales. Estos hallazgos muestran la necesidad de un enfoque holístico en la gestión de la seguridad y salud en el trabajo, que integre tanto aspectos físicos como organizacionales del entorno laboral.
Objective: To analyze the relationship between organizational safety culture and job satisfaction among workers in the field of occupational safety and health. Materials and Methods: This research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional descriptive design to evaluate the dimensions of organizational culture and job satisfaction of workers in companies from the health and industrial sectors in Barranquilla, Atlántico, during the period from February to November 2024. The Nordic Occupational Safety Climate Questionnaire was used for data collection. The analysis was performed using carefully selected Python libraries, including Pandas for data manipulation, NumPy for statistical calculations, Matplotlib and Seaborn for visualizations, and regular expressions to ensure data consistency. The statistical analysis was structured in two dimensions: safety perception and job satisfaction. For safety perception, frequency tables were constructed to understand safety management from the employees' perspective. The job satisfaction analysis involved transforming responses to a 7-point Likert scale, allowing for more precise statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum values were calculated for each item, providing a comprehensive view of the factors influencing employee perceptions. Results: Data analysis revealed significant findings regarding self-perceived health, occupational safety perception, and job satisfaction. Firstly, the majority of participants (71.95%) reported "very good" or "good" health, suggesting positive overall well-being among workers. Regarding safety perception, mixed results were observed. While 70.73% of workers considered safety routines effective, 50% expressed disagreement with management's ability to handle safety adequately. Furthermore, while 79.27% of employees felt they have influence on safety issues, only 50% agreed that they participate in safety-related decisions. Concerning job satisfaction, factors with the highest satisfaction levels were temperature, work autonomy, and support from superiors. However, aspects such as fairness in the company and lighting received lower scores, indicating areas for improvement. The distribution of the job satisfaction index showed a concentration at high levels, with most values between 3.8 and 4.8 on a 5-point scale. These results suggest that while there is a generally positive perception of safety and job satisfaction, there are specific areas that require attention to improve the work environment and safety culture in the studied organizations. Conclusion: The study reveals a complex relationship between organizational safety culture and job satisfaction. Although a generally positive health perception and relatively high job satisfaction are observed, critical areas requiring attention were identified. A significant divergence in perceptions about safety management was noted, with considerable distrust in management's ability to handle safety adequately, despite the positive assessment of safety routines. Job satisfaction varies according to the aspects evaluated, with high scores in environmental comfort and autonomy, but opportunities for improvement in organizational aspects. These findings demonstrate the need for a holistic approach to occupational safety and health management, integrating both physical and organizational aspects of the work environment.
