Impacto de las evaluaciones a las instituciones de educación superior del Ecuador en el clima organizacional de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca.

Abstract

In 2016, the Catholic University of Cuenca (UCACUE) was evaluated again by CEAACES for its categorization and accreditation, evidencing an advance in the results; from this situation arises the need to carry out the present investigation, whose objective was "to determine the impact of the evaluations carried out by the control organisms in the organizational climate of the UCACUE". For this, the CLIOUNing model was used, which has an instrument that measures "institutional management", "individual challenges" and "interaction", it was applied to 211 workers, distributed in: authorities, administrators, teachers and servers of the different headquarters of the institution in the provinces of Azuay and Cañar. The study process was managed in two stages: the first focused on the perception prior to evaluations regarding the organizational climate, that is, before the evaluations, and the second one measured the current situation; so it was considered collaborators who have worked in these two periods, who provided information on both stages. From the research carried out, the following results were obtained: the Institutional Management dimension before stood at 4.5, currently rose to 5.9; Individual Challenges, previously 5.2, now meets 6.1; and Interaction, previously 4.8 today with 5.5. Considering that the latter is the one that has least improved, a proposal for intervention related to its weaknesses is formulated.
