Fostering employee creativity through creativity-contingent extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that emphasise creativity: A systematic review of creativity academic papers
No full textCreativity is widely believed to be necessary to increase quality performance. Thus, in today’s more challenging and competitive environment, the contemporary organization frequently utilizes rewards practices to stimulate creative activities among employees. Existing research on reward practices shows evidence that creativity contingent rewards play a vital role in improving employee creative performance. This study presents a systematic review of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that contribute to creativity and their effect on employee creativity. The findings show that regardless of the degree of importance of the rewards perceived by the employee, both the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards were positively correlated with the behaviour of creativity behavior. Interestingly, the results showed that creativity-contingent intrinsic rewards have relatively stronger effects on employee creativity when compared to creativity-contingent extrinsic rewards

Diseño de estrategias para la prevención del acoso laboral en una empresa del sector construcción en la ciudad de Barranquilla
No full textEl acoso laboral es una problemática que afecta el bienestar de los trabajadores y el clima organizacional, con repercusiones en la productividad y el desempeño. Este estudio tiene como objetivo diseñar un plan estratégico para la prevención del acoso laboral en una empresa del sector construcción en Barranquilla. Para ello, se realizó un análisis diagnóstico mediante la aplicación de una encuesta propuesta por el autor Pedro Gil Monte, identificando la prevalencia y las manifestaciones de acoso en el entorno laboral. Se espera que las estrategias propuestas contribuyan a mejorar el ambiente laboral y prevenir situaciones de violencia, acoso laboral y de género en la organización intervenida. Los resultados muestran que, si bien la mayoría de los trabajadores perciben un ambiente laboral positivo, existe un porcentaje significativo que ha experimentado situaciones de acoso, como asignación de tareas inadecuadas, exclusión social, comentarios ofensivos y amenazas de despido. Además, se evidenciaron relaciones entre variables como el tipo de cargo, el género y los beneficios organizacionales, lo que sugiere posibles desigualdades estructurales dentro de la empresa. A partir de estos hallazgos, se propone un conjunto de estrategias enfocadas en la prevención, gestión y erradicación del acoso laboral, incluyendo la mejora de la comunicación organizacional, la implementación de protocolos de denuncia y la promoción de una cultura basada en el respeto y la equidad. Este plan estratégico busca garantizar un entorno laboral seguro, saludable y libre de violencia, contribuyendo al bienestar y la productividad de los trabajadores.Workplace harassment is a problem that affects the well-being of workers and the organizational climate, with repercussions on productivity and performance. The objective of this study is to design a strategic plan for the prevention of workplace harassment in a company of the construction sector in Barranquilla. For this purpose, a diagnostic analysis was carried out through the application of a survey proposed by the author Pedro Gil Monte, identifying the prevalence and manifestations of harassment in the work environment. It is expected that the proposed strategies will contribute to improving the work environment and prevent situations of violence, workplace harassment and gender harassment in the organization intervening. The results show that, although most of the workers perceive a positive work environment, there is a significant percentage that has experienced harassment situations, such as inappropriate task assignments, social exclusion, offensive comments and threats of dismissal. In addition, evidenced relationships between variables such as type of position, gender and organizational benefits, suggesting possible structural inequalities within the company.
Based on these findings, a set of strategies is proposed focused on the prevention, management and eradication of workplace harassment, including the improvement of organizational communication, the implementation of reporting protocols and the promotion of a culture based on respect and equity. This strategic plan seeks to ensure a safe work environment, healthy and free of violence, contributing to the well-being and productivity of workers.Lista de tablas y figuras 9--Tablas 9--Figuras 9--Introducción 12--Planteamiento del problema 14--Justificación 18--Objetivos 20--Objetivo general 20--Objetivos específicos 20--Estado del arte 21-- Marco conceptual 26--Acoso laboral 26--Características principales del acoso laboral 27--Enfoques normativos 27--Violencia basada en género 28--Tipos de violencia 28--Discriminación 29--Tipos de discriminación. 29--Desigualdad 30--Tipos de desigualdad 30--Causas de la desigualdad 31--Prevención 31--Niveles de prevención 32--Metodologías de prevención 32--Materiales y métodos 34--Descripción de la población de estudio 34--Instrumento de recolección de datos 36--Análisis 37--Resultados 38--Discusión 53--Propuesta del plan de mejora 57--Fortalecimiento de la cultura organizacional 57--Mejoras en las políticas y procedimientos internos 58--Promoción de la equidad organizacional 59--Fomentar el bienestar laboral 60--Conclusión y recomendaciones 67--Referencias 69Magíster en Gerencia en Seguridad y Salud en el TrabajoMaestrí
