Abstract

This article displays some of the results found as part of the doctoral dissertation entitled "The work environment and its impact on the performance of the best places to work in Colombia", in light of the approach of the Institute Great Places to Work (GPTW), 2003-2009. The paper lists findings related to the correlation between three of the five variables used by the GPTW: credibility, camaraderie and respect. Credibility, an independent variable, is found to be related to: 1) the communication maintained by managers with their partners which contains information and expectations related to important issues and changes, and the accessibility of leaders to their subordinates, 2) leaders' competence in conducting business, completing work, awareness of objectives, and trust in subordinates, and 3) integrity, in terms of the fulfillment of promises, honesty, and the match between actions and words. The second independent variable, camaraderie, is expressed through fraternity, cordiality of the workplace and sense of team. Respect, the dependent variable, was analyzed in relation to four factors: 1) support for professional development and recognition given to employees for their work 2) participation, measured by the approval of suggestions and employees' involvement in decision-making 3) care for the physical and psychological work environment, and 4) matters related to personal life (leisure, work-life balance, interest in the employee as a person and related benefits).
