An approximation to the organizational climate in the National Civil Police of El Salvador

Abstract

The article entitled “An Approach to Organizational Climate at the National Civil Police (PNC) of El Salvador” is a modest contribution to the tenth issue of the journal “Police and Public Safety”. The general objective of the study is to make a brief, very preliminary and generic analysis of the current state of the organizational climate in the PNC from two basic moments of reference: its foundation and its present situation. The methodology used required the application of document review techniques, in-depth interviews and a survey. Almost all of the data analyzed were collected in a limited period; and also, the set of informants consulted was delimited by a certain pre-established profile. Therefore, the findings and overall results of this article must be adequately located, dimensioned and taken with caution, as well as the conclusions and
recommendations derived from them.
