CULTURA DE LAS PROFESIONES EN LA EMPRESA ASTILLEROS DEL ORIENTE. CONSIDERACIONES TEÓRICO METODOLÓGICAS

The complexities of the Cuban context need solutions that articulate realities, strategies, and political and scientific perspectives; however, despite the diversity of disciplines, approaches, studies, and authors that approach the organizational culture and the theory of professions, the use of the concept: culture of professions, is barely noticeable in national and foreign research on organizational cohorts, at a time when this category needs to acquire more significant value. This work aimed to characterize the culture of professions in the Astilleros del Oriente (ASTOR) Company to identify theoretical-methodological guidelines for its use in the workplace. This investigation was carried out as a case study in the dependences of ASTOR, in Santiago de Cuba, with a population of 296 people of different professions; it was necessary to harmonize methods and technical qualitative and quantitative as interviews, surveys, observations, and analysis of documents, being applied a simple random sampling in the case of the survey and intentional samplings for the other instruments. The main result was the theoretical-methodological construction of the concept culture of professions and the identification of rules for its use in the labor sphere employing the characterization of the organization study object.
