This paper is part of a longitudinal study conducted on faculty members from Ecuadorian universities. It contributes to the field of Organizational Behavior. It focuses on organizational culture at Universidad Politécnica Salesiana del Ecuador (UPS) and the job satisfaction of its faculty, by means of a study conducted in its three campuses (Cuenca, Quito, and Guayaquil) between April and September 2021. The objective accomplished was to determine the extent to which the institution’s organizational culture influences the job satisfaction of its faculty. To this end, two variables were identified: job satisfaction as dependent variable, and the institution’s organizational culture as independent variable. The rationale for this research is the fact that organizational culture can strongly influence job satisfaction among faculty members. Its aim was also to identify the fundamental aspects that determine the strengths of this culture that explain its influence in all three campuses. The study used a quantitative, applied method, with a correlational design that led to the description and tabulation of statistical data. A survey was used to collect quantitative data. The results indicate that the organizational culture shows a moderate correlation with job satisfaction among faculty members, as shown by the Spearman’s rho = 0.812 and the p-value = 0.000 lower than α = 0,05.
