摘要
PurposeConsidering the entrepreneurship nature and the high number of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Latin American region, this study seeks to empirically test the relationship between organizational culture (OC), transformational leadership (TF) and organizational performance (OP) to support their long-term survival.Design/methodology/approachUnder a post-positivism paradigm, quantitative approach and correlational scope, this research analyzed the interrelationship between OC, TF and OP across Peruvian SMEs. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to test the hypotheses based on the responses of 276 SMEs' top executives from the commerce, services, manufacturing, construction and agriculture industries.FindingsOC fully mediates the relationship between TL and OP. Although TF solely does not drive OP, the mediating effect of OC is crucial for SMEs' long-term survival, especially considering their contribution to employment, poverty reduction and GDP in developing countries. Entrepreneurial transformational leaders inspire their followers to achieve goals, strive to develop individual skills, transmit confidence and leave aside their own interests to focus on the common goal of growing their entrepreneurship competitively.Originality/valueThe three variables under analysis have been applied to large companies and SMEs. However, this research enriches previous findings, highlighting the necessity for an adequate OC derived from an entrepreneur with TL, contributing to the survival of SMEs, whose results are critical for developing countries' economies. Prop & oacute;sitoConsiderando la naturaleza emprendedora y el elevado n & uacute;mero de peque & ntilde;as y medianas empresas (PYMES) en Latinoam & eacute;rica, este art & iacute;culo busca probar emp & iacute;ricamente la relaci & oacute;n entre cultura organizacional (OC), liderazgo transformacional (TF) y desempe & ntilde;o organizacional (OP), con el fin de contribuir a su sobrevivencia en el largo plazo.Dise & ntilde;o/metodolog & iacute;a/enfoqueBajo el paradigma post-positivista, con un enfoque cuantitativo y un alcance correlacional, esta investigaci & oacute;n analiza la interrelaci & oacute;n entre las variables OC, el TF y el OP en PYMES peruanas. Para ello se utiliz & oacute; an & aacute;lisis factorial confirmatorio (CFA) y modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM) considerando las respuestas de 276 altos ejecutivos de PYMES provenientes de las industrias de comercio, servicios, manufactura, construcci & oacute;n y agricultura.ResultadosLa cultura organizacional media completamente la relaci & oacute;n entre el liderazgo transformacional y el desempe & ntilde;o organizacional. Aunque el liderazgo transformacional por s & iacute; solo no influye en el desempe & ntilde;o organizacional, el efecto mediador del TF es clave para la supervivencia a largo plazo de las PYMES, especialmente si se tiene en cuenta su contribuci & oacute;n al empleo, su impacto en la reducci & oacute;n de la pobreza y el PBI, en los pa & iacute;ses en desarrollo. Los emprendedores con liderazgo transformacional inspiran a sus seguidores para alcanzar objetivos, se esfuerzan por desarrollar las habilidades de cada individuo, transmiten confianza y dejan de lado sus intereses personales para centrarse en el objetivo com & uacute;n del crecimiento de su emprendimiento con competitividad.Originalidad/valorLas tres variables en estudio han sido aplicadas en empresas grandes y PYMES. Sin embargo, esta investigaci & oacute;n enriquece los hallazgos previos, destacando la necesidad de contar con una adecuada cultura organizacional derivada de un emprendedor con liderazgo transformacional, contribuyendo con la supervivencia de las PYMEs, cuyos resultados son cr & iacute;ticos para la econom & iacute;a de los pa & iacute;ses en desarrollo.
