Control burocrático y apoyo organizacional en el sector público: efectos mediados por el empoderamiento psicológico en el compromiso laboral
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo investigar hasta qué punto el control burocrático y el apoyo organizacional afectan el compromiso laboral de los servidores públicos y el papel mediador del empoderamiento psicológico. Para lograr este objetivo, se llevó a cabo una investigación cuantitativa, basada en datos recolectados de 159 servidores públicos de dos tribunales de cuentas brasileños, con la aplicación posterior de análisis factorial exploratorio, división de variables, análisis factorial confirmatorio y regresión de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (OLS). Los resultados muestran que existe una mediación negativa total entre el control burocrático y el compromiso laboral a través del empoderamiento psicológico. El efecto del apoyo organizacional sobre el engagement en el trabajo esta parcialmente y positivamente mediado por el empoderamiento psicológico. Así, el empoderamiento psicológico constituye un mecanismo importante a través del cual los servidores públicos reaccionan a las características del contexto de trabajo, debilitándose en situaciones de control burocrático exacerbado o falta de apoyo organizacional, con consecuencias en el nivel de entusiasmo y dedicación. Los hallazgos se discuten a la luz de sus implicaciones teóricas y prácticas para la gestión en el sector público.
