Relevance Of Statistical Methods Used To Measure The Organizational Climate In The Pedagogical Field

Background: In higher education, the organizational climate acquires great relevance, given the need to train professionals better prepared for the exercise of their profession. In the measurement of organizational climate as a qualitative variable, the correct use of statistical methods to articulate it with other variables, with the necessary mathematical rigor, is not abundant.Objective: to analyze the relevance of the statistical methods used in measuring the organizational climate in the pedagogical field.Methods: a systematic review was carried out, covering the last eight years (2012-2019), which had nine publications as a body of analysis. These were characterized according to the type of study, climate dimensions, instruments, reliability, validity and sampling. In particular, the relevance of the statistical methods applied according to the objectives of each study was analyzed.Results: descriptive studies predominated, with non-experimental designs, focused on the articulation of the work environment with academic performance, educational quality and job satisfaction. The most used dimensions were: motivation, social relationships and leadership. A slight predominance of inferential statistical methods was observed; as well as the tendency not to systematize the verification of assumptions to guarantee reliability in the use of these methods.Conclusion: most of the scientific articles analyzed have not carried out with the necessary rigor the treatment of statistical methods and the scientific certification of the results, based on the measurement of the organizational climate.
