Palabras clave:
Decisiones estratégicas, espiritualidad empresarial, gerentes autodidactas, liderazgo consciente, teoría de decisiones
Resumen
La espiritualidad, entendida como un conjunto de valores éticos y transcendentes, puede servir como guía en el proceso de toma de decisiones empresariales. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la influencia de la espiritualidad en las decisiones estratégicas de gerentes autodidactas en el sector comercial de Ocaña-Colombia. Se adoptó un enfoque metodológico mixto, que integró encuestas estructuradas y entrevistas semiestructuradas. Se estudiaron 50 gerentes autodidactas, con amplia experiencia y al frente de empresas exitosas del municipio de Ocaña, Colombia, registradas en la Cámara de Comercio. Se aplicaron análisis estadísticos (ANOVA y regresión logística), complementados con un análisis cualitativo sistemático mediante el software NVivo. Los resultados mostraron que el 94% de los gerentes consideraron que su espiritualidad influyó positivamente en sus decisiones, orientándolas hacia principios éticos, resiliencia organizacional y el bienestar de sus equipos. Valores como la honestidad, la empatía y la justicia, emergieron como los más determinantes. Se concluyó que la espiritualidad fortalece el liderazgo, promueve la responsabilidad social y se consolida como un recurso estratégico ante contextos de incertidumbre. Sin embargo, también existen obstáculos como la presión financiera y los prejuicios culturales. Este estudio aportó una visión integral del valor estratégico de la espiritualidad en la gestión empresarial local.
