ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS THAT PROMOTE WORK HAPPINESS IN A SPECIAL TRANSPORT COMPANY IN THE COLOMBIAN CARIBBEAN

Abstract

The postulates of the international programs of the United Nations highlight the need to promote decent work as one of the goals of the millennium, which today has become a strategic reference of the relationship between man, work and organization. Under this precept, the objective of this article is to determine the organizational factors that promote the work happiness of employees in a Special Transport company in the Colombian Caribbean. The study was approached from a quantitative approach with a correlational scope based on an exploratory factor analysis and factor loads. It is evident that objective and subjective support play a decisive role in work happiness, with objective support ,740 being the most preponderant. It is concluded that the organizational factors that promote happiness do not act on employees with the same intensity; Therefore, organizations should avoid circumscribing the issue of happiness at work from a single approach, which limits its scope and application to respond to the perceptions and needs that individuals have of their environment and of themselves, which are ethereal and changing.
