IMPACTO DEL EMPODERAMIENTO DE LOS EMPLEADOS EN EL DESEMPEÑO ORGANIZACIONAL EN LA INDUSTRIA PESQUERA

Abstract

Human resources are an essential production factor for achieving good organizational performance. However, at present, this resource is not granted participation in the decision-making process, nor is it provided with leadership spaces. So, the proper functioning of the business is not achieved. This problem is more frequent in the fishing industry; therefore, this study focuses on determining the relationship between the empowerment of human resources and the organizational performance of Galapesca S.A., through the analysis of company indicators. For this, the empowerment exercised in a group of 17 middle management collaborators from the Production and Quality Control departments was manipulated and evaluated. Then, the statistical processing of the results was carried out and the mean difference test was applied, which concludes that the development of staff empowerment increases their long-term commitment and allows the company to obtain a broad strategic vision in decision making.
