LUNA MONTESDEOCA, Olga Yomayda; RONALD ARMENDARIZ, Christian  and  ANDRADE ZAMORA, Fabrizzio. Culture and organizational environment in the work performance of employees of the coastal districts of education in Ecuador.

The article makes an exhaustive review of the literature on the organizational environment which resulted in the identification of eight dimensions of the organizational environment that could be used within public companies called education districts. Five items of operational definitions of the dimensions between a sample of management and operational employees were developed and tested. The research was based on the multidimensional model of organizational commitment. The results of the review are consistent with current organizational environment theories and may be useful for assessing the environment. This study explores whether and to what extent the work environment can contribute to the quality of performance of the district's public operational employees. The analysis focuses on looking for theoretical references that harmonize a correlational investigation between both variables. The findings suggest promising directions for the design of theoretical models that were based on objectives such as describing perceptions of organizational culture and the prevalence of organizational citizenship behaviors among employees, determining the strongest and most problematic phenomenological aspects in the investigated area and evaluating the psychometric properties of measures for organizational culture and then identifying any relationship between organizational culture and the performance of organizational citizenship.
