Actitud frente al cambio y su relacion con el compromiso organizacional en organizaciones de la region del Maule

91 p.En el presente estudio se relaciona la actitud frente al cambio y los niveles de compromiso organizacional en sus componentes calculado, normativo y afectivo en una muestra de empleados de dos empleados, que presentan diferencias con el tipo y la intensidad de la innovación y cambio en los procesos organizacionales. Un segundo objetivo es comparar el compromiso organizacional y la actitud frente al cambio de ambas organizaciones. Se utilizó el cuestionario de compromiso organizacional de Allen y Meyer (1990) y la escala para medir actitud frente al cambio de Rovelo, Garcia y Ros (2004), los cuales fueron validados en la presente investigación. Los resultados muestran una relación positiva entre compromiso afectivo y aceptación frente al cambio (r = 0,547; p < 0,01). También existe una relación positiva entre compromiso normativo y aceptación frente a los cambios en ambas organizaciones (r = 0,416; p < 0,01). Se reporta una correlación negativa entre compromiso afectivo y cinismo frente a los cambios en los empleados de la organización A (r = -0,382; p < 0,01). En general no se encontraron diferencias considerables entre ambas empresas en relación a las medias presentadas. Finalmente se sugieren estrategias para mejorar las reacciones frente a los cambios en relación a los grupos encontrados. Palabras claves: Actitud frente al cambio, Cambio organizacional, Compromiso calculado, normativo, afectivo

Beliefs and knowledge about post-traumatic stress disorder amongst resettled Afghan refugees in Australia

Resettled refugees are at high risk of trauma-related mental health problems, yet there is low uptake of mental health care in this population. Evidence suggests poor 'mental health literacy' (MHL) may be a major factor influencing help-seeking behaviour among individuals with mental health problems. This study sought to examine the MHL of resettled Afghan refugees in Adelaide, South Australia.Interviews were completed with 150 (74 males; mean age 32.8\ua0years, SD\ua0=\ua012.2) resettled Afghan refugees living in Adelaide, South Australia. A convenience sampling method was employed and participants were comprised of volunteers from the Afghan community residing in the northern suburbs of Adelaide. Following informed consent participants were presented a culturally appropriate vignette describing a fictional person suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This was followed by a series of questions addressing participants' knowledge and understanding of the nature and treatment of the problem described. Self-report measures of PTSD symptoms and co-morbid psychopathology were also administered.Thirty-one per cent of the respondents identified the problem depicted in the vignette as being PTSD, while 26 per cent believed that the main problem was 'fear'. Eighteen per cent of participants believed that 'getting out and about more/finding some new hobbies' would be the most helpful form of treatment for the problem described, followed by 'improving their diet' and 'getting more exercise' (16\ua0%).The results of this study demonstrate aspects of MHL that appear to be specific to Afghan refugees who have resettled in Australia. They indicate the need for health promotion and early intervention programs, and mental health services, to recognise that variation in MHL may be a function of both the cultural origin of a refugee population and their resettlement country. Such recognition is needed in order to bridge the gap between Western, biomedical models for mental health care and the knowledge and beliefs of resettled refugee populations
