Resumen

Las organizaciones culturales participan en iniciativas prosociales y realizan actividades que repercuten en el contexto comunitario. En este estudio evaluamos el sentido de comunidad, el empoderamiento psicológico y la participación comunitaria de 120 trabajadores de agrupaciones de las artes escénicas en Andalucía. Con tres modelos de regresión concurrentes mostramos que el sentido de comunidad y el empoderamiento psicológico están fuertemente relacionados, mientras que la participación ciudadana no se relaciona de forma significativa con los otros dos procesos. En segundo lugar, clasificamos a los trabajadores de las organizaciones culturales con un análisis de conglomerados en función de las tres dimensiones de interés. En la mitad de los participantes se observa una relación positiva, de asociación mutua, entre la participación, el empoderamiento y el sentido de comunidad. Complementariamente, documentamos un perfil pasivo, con bajos niveles de participación, y un perfil paradójico en el que la participación social parece producirse al margen de la implicación en la organización cultural de referencia. Los tres perfiles difieren en el compromiso con la organización y la evaluación de aspectos laborales. El perfil positivo también resulta más probable en las organizaciones más pequeñas. Finalmente discutimos la relación entre las dinámicas organizativas de las agrupaciones de las artes escénicas y su potencial para implicarse en la comunidad.

Abstract

In this study we evalute the sense of community, psychological empowerment, and community participation of 120 workers of performing arts organizations in Andalusia. By means of three concurrent regression models we show that the sense of community and psychological empowerment are strongly related, while social participation is not significantly associated to the other two processes. Cluster analysis based on the three dimensions of interest classify participants in three different groups. In half of the participants a positive, mutual association between participation, empowerment, and a sense of community is observed. In addition, we have documented a passive profile, with low levels of participation, and a paradoxical profile, in which social participation seems to occur regardless of involvement in the organization of reference. The three profiles differ in commitment to the organization and evaluation of labor issues. The positive profile is also more likely to occur in smaller organizations. Finally, we discuss the relationship between the organizational dynamics of the performing arts groups and their potential to be involved in the community.
