Description
Summary:The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship and impact of the Covid19 pandemic on the commitment of employees of an organization in the Colombian electricity sector, through a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational / causal design and with a quantitative approach. The sample corresponded to 113 workers linked to the analyzed organization and the information was collected through a web-type survey. The results establish a significant relationship between changes in working and daily conditions due to the Covid19 Pandemic as an independent variable, and work commitment as a dependent variable, of r = 0.565. Likewise, the self-perception of work commitment and adaptation to the new work context in the people surveyed amounts to more than 92% in a strong or very strong way. In this sense, the studied company should consider strategies to limit the working day, since 61.06% of those surveyed consider that their working time has increased since they are performing it remotely.
