THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS PROMPTED A CLOSER EXAMINATION OF ORGANIZATIONAL MANAGEMENT?S ROLE IN FACILITATING POSITIVE OUTCOMES IN THE WORKPLACE. THIS STUDY EXPLORES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHY ORGANIZATIONAL PRACTICES (HOP) AND LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT AND BURNOUT AMONG WORKERS. WE APPLIED SURVEYS TO 213 WORKERS (66% WOMEN) FROM DIFFERENT SECTORS (HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND MUNICIPAL) IN A SOUTH-CENTER REGION OF CHILE. THE RESULTS ALIGN WITH THE EXISTING LITERATURE, SHOWING A POSITIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN HOP AND ENGAGEMENT AND A NEGATIVE CORRELATION BETWEEN HOP AND BURNOUT IN THE TOTAL SAMPLE. ANOVA ANALYSIS REVEALED SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES AMONG ORGANIZATIONS. WORKERS IN THE EDUCATION ORGANIZATION REPORTED HIGHER PERCEPTIONS OF HEALTHY PRACTICES, AS WELL AS HIGHER ENGAGEMENT AND LOWER BURNOUT LEVELS. THESE FINDINGS HIGHLIGHT THE EDUCATION ORGANIZATION AS A POTENTIAL EXEMPLAR OF A HEALTHY WORKPLACE. THE STUDY UNDERSCORES THE IMPORTANCE OF HEALTHY PRACTICES IN PROMOTING EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING AND OFFERS INSIGHTS INTO SECTOR-SPECIFIC DYNAMICS. ORGANIZATIONS, PARTICULARLY IN HEALTH AND MUNICIPAL SECTORS, SHOULD PRIORITIZE STRATEGIES THAT FOSTER HEALTHY WORK ENVIRONMENTS AND MITIGATE THE RISK OF BURNOUT AMONG THEIR WORKFORCE. THE FINDINGS OF THIS RESEARCH CORROBORATE THAT HOP CONTRIBUTES TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF A HEALTHY WORKPLACE. IT DISCUSSES THE NEED TO INVESTIGATE COMPLEMENTARY VARIABLES THAT WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF A MODEL FOR HEALTHY AND SUSTAINABLE ORGANIZATIONS TAILORED TO THE SPECIFIC ORGANIZATIONS AND THE CULTURE OF ITS PEOPLE.

LA PANDEMIA DEL COVID-19 IMPACTÓ TANTO A INDIVIDUOS COMO A ORGANIZACIONES, RESALTANDO LA IMPORTANCIA DE LA GESTIÓN ORGANIZACIONAL EN SITUACIONES DE PRESIÓN. ESTE CAPÍTULO, BASADO EN ESTUDIOS DEL GRUPO DE INVESTIGACIÓN ?GESTIÓN DEL COMPORTAMIENTO ORGANIZACIONAL? EN CHILE, ABORDA CÓMO LA PSICOLOGÍA POSITIVA Y LA PSICOLOGÍA ORGANIZACIONAL POSITIVA MEJORAN EL BIENESTAR LABORAL Y LOS RESULTADOS ORGANIZACIONALES. SE PRESENTAN RESULTADOS DE PRÁCTICAS SALUDABLES DESDE EL MODELO HERO APLICADO EN ORGANIZACIONES. LOS HALLAZGOS SUBRAYAN LA IMPORTANCIA DE ORGANIZACIONES SALUDABLES PARA FOMENTAR EL BIENESTAR, RESILIENCIA, COMPROMISO Y CREATIVIDAD DE LOS TRABAJADORES. SIN EMBARGO, AÚN EXISTEN DESAFÍOS EN LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN EFECTIVA DE POLÍTICAS DE BIENESTAR, DESTACANDO LA NECESIDAD DE ENFOQUES BASADOS EN EVIDENCIA PARA ENFRENTAR ESTOS RETOS FUTUROS, LO SIN DUDA REPRESENTA UN DESAFÍO PARA LOS PRÓXIMOS AÑOS.
