El liderazgo positivo y las prácticas organizacionales promueven ambientes laborales saludables y resultados óptimos de sus proyectos, especialmente en las Pymes que enfrentan desafíos específicos, como la escasez de recursos y la alta rotación de personal. El estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el efecto del liderazgo positivo y las prácticas organizacionales, en los resultados saludables de las Pymes de la zona 5 del Ecuador.
Se adoptó un diseño de investigación cuantitativa, descriptiva y psicométrica, aplicando cuestionarios a 421 colaboradores de Pymes. Los cuestionarios evaluaron el liderazgo positivo y las prácticas organizacionales con una escala Likert.
Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio (CFA) indican que el modelo propuesto tiene un ajuste adecuado, con índices SRMR (0,059) y RMSEA (0.032) que sugieren un buen ajuste del modelo. Además, los índices TLI (0,993), CFI (0,994), GFI (0,983), NFI (0,979) y RFI (0,978) superaron los umbrales recomendados, reafirmando la calidad del ajuste.
El índice PNFI (0,931) destacó la parsimonia del modelo, confirmando su robustez y aplicabilidad en contextos organizacionales.
Se concluye que el liderazgo positivo y las prácticas organizacionales saludables tienen un impacto significativo en los resultados organizacionales de las Pymes en Ecuador. No obstante, se recomienda ampliar el alcance geográfico y explorar factores contextuales adicionales en futuras investigaciones.
