Resumen

Introduction: This article is set within the context of healthy organizations, which are understood to contribute to the physical and emotional well-being of employees through practices that impact organizational climate, individual self-fulfillment, and social responsibility. Objective: The purpose was to study the relationship between healthy organizational practices and psychological capital within a Colombian university's School of Economic Sciences. Methodology: A quantitative, correlational approach was used, employing structural equation modeling to analyze data collected in March 2022. Results: The findings indicate that professors positively perceive organizational practices, with scores generally above average. In terms of psychological capital, hope is the highest-scoring factor, reflecting confidence in the future despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, relatively low optimism was observed, pointing to challenges in facing day-to-day difficulties. Conclusions: The model reveals a positive correlation between the constructs, indicating that the implementation of strategies to improve the physical, mental, and social well-being of professors may be associated with an increase in self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism.
