Resumo

El concepto de organización saludable cada vez toma más fuerza en el ámbito empresarial y académico, a razón de su enfoque integral y al impacto generado en distintos grupos de interés. Debido a su reciente consolidación como concepto, existe un limitado cuerpo de investigación en torno al tema. Para contribuir a la generación de conocimiento en este sentido, se desarrolló un estudio exploratorio el cual tenía como objetivo identificar la relación existente entre la implementación de prácticas saludables en las organizaciones y los valores culturales. En el estudio participaron 66 sujetos a quienes se les administró un cuestionario compuesto por nueve variables, cinco provenientes del modelo de Hofstede (1980) y cuatro más que evaluaban la implementación de prácticas organizacionales saludables. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los valores culturales predicen la implementación de prácticas saludables.

The healthy organization concept becomes strong in the corporative and academic environments, due to its integral focus and to the impact it has caused in different interest groups. Due to its recent consolidation as a valid concept, there is little to no corpus of investigation about this topic. In order to generate knowledge focused in this concept, an explorative research which aimed to identify the relationship between implementing healthy organizational practices inside organizations and cultural values was developed. To the research, 66 people were given a questionnaire composed of nine variables, five of them based in the Hofstede model (1980) and four more that evaluated the implementation of healthy organizational practices. The result shows that cultural values predict the implementation of healthy practices at the organization.
