https://doi.org/10.12712/rpca.v.202.70775Resumo
O objetivo foi identificar o impacto da cultura de gerenciamento de erros na aprendizagem individual, satisfação e engajamento do colaborador, por meio das práticas organizacionais: suporte social e gestão aberta. A coleta de dados ocorreu em uma organização brasileira de atuação nacional, com gestão participativa, foco na melhoria de processos e compromisso com a qualidade. Foram obtidos 128 questionários válidos, analisados por modelagem de equações estruturais com estimação por mínimos quadrados parciais. Confirmaram-se sete das nove hipóteses, destacando a cultura de falhas e erros como preditora dos demais construtos, significando que pode gerar satisfação, engajamento e aprendizado do trabalhador.
