Abstract
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo estudiar las percepciones de
la comunidad educativa sobre los tipos y elementos de la cultura organizacional de
una institución educativa privada de Lima Metropolitana.
La metodología adopta un enfoque cualitativo y emplea el método de estudio
de caso único. La unidad de análisis está conformada por trece informantes y tres
documentos de gestión educativa (Proyecto Educativo Institucional, Plan anual de
Trabajo y Reglamento Interno). Los instrumentos utilizados para recopilar datos
fueron una entrevista semiestructurada y un análisis documental basado en una
matriz.
A partir de la presentación, análisis y discusión de los resultados se obtienen
los siguientes hallazgos. En primer lugar, el estudio reveló que dentro de una misma
organización educativa pueden coexistir hasta tres tipos de culturas, según la
relación entre las funciones de las personas y las actividades institucionales. Se
identificaron una cultura coordinada, donde los directivos y un equipo exclusivo de
profesionales tienen una participación decisiva; una cultura colaborativa,
caracterizada por la participación democrática de toda la comunidad educativa en
actividades extracurriculares; y una cultura fragmentada, con poca comunicación e
interacción entre los alumnos, docentes, coordinadores y directivos.
En segundo lugar, los elementos de la cultura organizacional describen el
contenido (infraestructura, normas y reglamentos, valores y creencias), la fuerza
(extensión o penetración, homogeneidad y claridad; que miden el nivel de
influencia, rigidez y adaptación en la organización) y la orientación (retrospectiva y
prospectiva; que indican el sentido histórico y lo que se espera lograr a futuro). En
cuanto al contenido, se destaca una infraestructura sólida, normas y valores que
promueven la responsabilidad, y creencias aceptadas por alumnos y padres de
familia; pero, la fuerza institucional es débil. Respecto a la orientación, prevalece
una perspectiva retrospectiva, enfocada en el pasado positivo del colegio hasta el
presente.
The purpose of this research is to analyze the perceptions of the educational community regarding the types and elements of the organizational culture of a private educational institution in Metropolitan Lima. The methodology follows a qualitative approach and utilizes the single case study method. The analysis unit consists of thirteen informants and three educational management documents (Institutional Educational Project, Annual Work Plan, and Internal Regulations). The data collection instruments employed were a semi-structured interview guide and a document analysis matrix. The presentation, analysis, and discussion of the results led to the following findings. First, the study revealed that up to three types of cultures can coexist within the same educational organization, depending on the relationship between the functions of individuals and institutional activities. A coordinated culture was identified, where managers and an exclusive team of professionals play a decisive role; a collaborative culture, characterized by the democratic participation of the entire educational community in extracurricular activities; and a fragmented culture, with little communication and interaction between students, teachers, coordinators, and managers. Secondly, the elements of organizational culture describe the content (infrastructure, rules and regulations, values, and beliefs), strength (extension or penetration, homogeneity and clarity, which measure the level of influence, rigidity, and adaptation in the organization), and orientation (retrospective and prospective, which indicate the historical sense of the past and what is expected to be achieved in the future). In terms of content, a solid infrastructure, norms, and values that promote responsibility, and beliefs accepted by students and parents stand out. However, overall institutional strength is weak. In terms of orientation, a retrospective perspective prevails, focusing on the positive past of the school up to the present.
