A influência dos valores e práticas da cultura organizacional na satisfação no trabalho no ambiente de uma startup

Abstract

Several factors contribute to the satisfaction of employees within an organization. Culturally, organizations differ in terms of their values and practices. Startups emerge with strong cultures, well-defined values, and carefully crafted rituals. In this context, the aim of this research is to elucidate the correlation between values, organizational culture, and job satisfaction in a startup environment. The study adopts a quantitative and descriptive approach, with the company selected based on convenience. A survey was conducted, gathering responses from 83 participants in a startup located in Fortaleza, Ceará. The research revealed that cultural factors exhibiting stronger correlations with satisfaction include cooperative professionalism values with job nature, leadership, and salary satisfaction; employee well-being satisfaction values with promotions, salary, and job nature satisfaction; reward and training practices with promotions and job nature satisfaction; and the promotion of interpersonal relationships with promotions, leadership, and salary satisfaction. Conversely, dimensions of competitive professionalism values and external integration practices showed no correlation with job satisfaction. The findings underscore the significance of prioritizing values that enhance employee well-being and motivation, emphasizing the need for effective reward and training strategies. Startup managers can leverage these insights to optimize organizational culture, reinforcing elements that positively impact employee satisfaction.
