Abstract
Hoy en día es importante promover la gestión ambiental en las organizaciones para que
Los recursos naturales están sujetos a un proceso de conservación que permite mantenerlos en el tiempo.
Además, esta es una buena manera de aumentar la conciencia ambiental de los diferentes actores en
sociedad. Por tanto, el objetivo de este estudio es evaluar las percepciones de los trabajadores sobre
la relación entre la gestión ambiental y la conservación de los recursos naturales en
empresas turísticas en Ayacucho, ubicada en la región andina del Perú. La investigación es de tipo básico,
con un enfoque cuantitativo y un diseño no experimental, correlacional-exploratorio. La encuesta
Se utilizó la técnica y el instrumento de recolección de datos fue un cuestionario dirigido a 600 trabajadores.
sobre gestión ambiental, con las dimensiones de planificación, implementación y operación y
verificación; y sobre la conservación de los recursos naturales, con las dimensiones del monitoreo de la biodiversidad
y consolidación del área protegida. Los resultados muestran que el 39% de los trabajadores no está de acuerdo con la
planificación de su empresa, el 47% no está de acuerdo ni en desacuerdo con las operaciones de su empresa y
la implementación de sus proyectos y el 47% no está de acuerdo con los métodos de su empresa para evaluar el
éxito de sus operaciones. Estos resultados muestran que un modelo de gestión ambiental debe ser
propuesto para mejorar la conservación de los recursos naturales y contribuir a la revalorización de
recursos naturales y la promoción de la protección de la biodiversidad para crear conciencia ambiental
en sociedad.
Nowadays, it is important to promote environmental management in organisations so that natural resources are subject to a conservation process that allows them to be maintained over time. In addition, this is a good way to increase the environmental awareness of the different actors in society. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the perceptions of workers concerning the relationship between environmental management and the conservation of natural resources in tourism companies in Ayacucho, located in the Andean region of Peru. The research is of a basic type, with a quantitative approach and a non-experimental, correlational-exploratory design. The survey technique was used and the data-collection instrument was a questionnaire addressed to 600 workers on environmental management, with the dimensions of planning, implementation and operation and verification; and on conservation of natural resources, with the dimensions of biodiversity monitoring and consolidation of the protected area. The results show that 39% of workers disagree with the planning of their company, 47% neither agree nor disagree with the operations of their company and the implementation of its projects and 47% disagree with their company’s methods of assessing the success of its operations. These results show that an environmental management model should be proposed to improve the conservation of natural resources and to contribute to the revaluation of resources and the promotion of biodiversity protection in order to create environmental awareness in society.
