Profiles, Organizations, PositiveAbstract
This study analysed the profiles of organizations based on employee perceptions of their workplace. The sample consis-ted of 459 Argentinian employees (232 men; average age, 36.3 years (SD = 11.7)). The participants worked for public companies (17.2%, n = 79) or private companies (82.6%, n = 379). Most of them lived in Buenos Aires and surrounding areas (96.5%, n = 443). A protocol was used for data collection, in which the participants were asked to report positive and negative characteristics associated with their organization. A content analysis of the answers given by the participants was performed, from which different categories of characteristics were derived (e.g., work climate, commitment, values). Several multiple correspondence analyses were conducted to generate profiles according to individual variables (i.e., gender, age, and position), organizational variables (i.e., size, typology, and type), and outcome variables (i.e., perfor-mance and job satisfaction). One of the most significant profiles showed associations between the perception of positive characteristics, such as values and outcomes, and high levels of satisfaction and individual/organizational performance.
