description This document analyses the barriers to the continuous improvement commitment (MC) in a recognized company in the automotive industry in Ecuador. With the aim of being able to understand what the reasons that contribute to this current problem of this type of companies are, where the Staff does not openly contribute neither to meeting goals nor continually improving their processes, the research was an integrated study in two automotive technical service centers in Quito, Ecuador. The integrated unit of analysis was the total population of employees and managers in an organization. Data was collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The results were triangulated. Reliability and validity procedures were used to increase the confidence levels of the results. The research showed that there are barriers in the initiative of employees to maintain a commitment to continuous improvement and development in companies, which should be overcome to implement an efficient quality system; In addition, it found that the commitment of the employees are low, affecting the effective fulfilment of their short and long term objectives. It was also shown that these barriers affect the commitment to achieve the adequacy and convenience of their quality system, which directly affects their organizational culture to achieve improvement.

La investigación fue un estudio integrado en dos centros de servicio técnico automotriz en Quito. La unidad de análisis integrada fue la población total de empleados y gerentes de una organización.

A pesquisa é um estudo integrado realizado em dois centros de serviço técnico automotivo em Quito, no Equador. A unidade de análise integrada foi a população total de empregados e gerentes de uma organização. Os dados foram coletados através de questionários e entrevistas semiestruturadas,e os resultados foram triangulados. Utilizaram-se procedimentos de confiabilidade e validade para aumentar os níveis de confiança dos resultados. A pesquisa mostrou que existem barreiras na iniciativa dos empregados para manter um compromisso com a melhoria contínua e com o desenvolvimento das empresas, as quais deveriam ser superadas para que se implementasse um sistema de qualidade eficiente. Além disso, concluiu-se que as percepções de compromisso dos empregados são baixas, afetando o cumprimento efetivo de seus objetivos a curto e longo prazos. Adicionalmente, demonstrou-se que tais barreiras afetam o compromisso para obter adequação e conveniência do sistema de qualidade, o que afeta a cultura organizacional para alcançar a melhoria.Universidad Andina Simón Bolívar, Sede Ecuador2020-11-24info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/xmlhttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/240910.32719/25506641.2020.8.2Estudios de la Gestión: Revista Internacional de Administración; Núm. 8 (2020): Estudios de la Gestión: revista internacional de administración, No. 8; 79-972661-65132550-6641reponame:Revista Estudios de la Gestióninstname:Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarinstacron:UASBspahttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2409/2201https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2409/2319https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/article/view/2409/3047info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-07-26T05:32:55Zoai:revistas.uasb.edu.ec:article/2409Portal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/egInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/oaiEcuador2661-65132661-6513opendoar:.2022-07-26T05:32:55falsePortal de revistashttps://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/egInstitución privadahttp://www.uasb.edu.ec/https://revistas.uasb.edu.ec/index.php/eg/oaiEcuador2661-65132661-6513opendoar:.2022-07-26T05:32:55Revista Estudios de la Gestión - Universidad Andina Simón Bolivarfalse
