Abstract and Figures

Objectives: To determine the dimensions that explain the construction of an emotional salary model that is articulated through the logic of the strategic management of human talent in organisations based in Medellín city. Methods/statistical analysis: This study presents a quantitative approach, a stratified sampling method with an explanatory design that is transversal and non-experimental. The instrument for gathering information was a Likert-scale test questionnaire which was applied to 175 medium-sized companies of Medellín city that have between 51 and 200 workers. Findings: The entrepreneurs think that the salary that they pay is what makes a worker feel satisfied, so that even the implementation of an emotional salary as organisational policy is not relevant, since they do not have empirical evidence to measure the relationship between emotion and salary in the context of considering salary increase that aims at increasing productivity. Application/improvements: An emotional salary model that is adapted to the needs of the companies allows to measure the productivity of the organisation; the general perception is that a healthy company help its personnel strike a balance between work and family.

1. Introduction
Global changes, social, economic, and political, and
intense competition in the global market, have forced
organisations to face myriad internal and external
situations that challenge their eciency and protability
both nationally and globally. To compete in the
competitive global market companies need to have a
solid organisational structure, competitive products
and services, innovative technology, and a skilled
human resource pool. At the same time, companies
that want to be productive and competitive should seek
the consolidation of a committed work team with high
capacity to adapt to the changes, to be proactive, and to
establish a relationship between the company and the
family. To achieve this relationship, companies require a
stronger connection between the company management
and the workforce in order to develop and implement
strategies that strengthen work, increase productivity and
protability, and augment all-round organisational and
employee welfare. e emotional salary is a non-economic
compensation that complements monetary salaries,
where the needs of the partners to be able to cope with
the demands of the company is given priority.1 Among
elements considered to be constituents of the concept of
emotional salary are exibility in work schedule, time
for training, teleworking, sharing and enjoying spaces to
spend quality time with ones family, and so on.
To understand the construct of emotional salary, you
must articulate the theories of administration, modern
management, and human talent. An explanatory and
non-experimental design that was not manipulated by
variables was used in the present study which ndings
are presented in this article. A stratied sample of 175

medium-sized enterprises in the productive sector of
Medellin city was used for the analysis. e analysis
section presents some limitations, including the lack of
condence on the part of employers to accept this type of
proposal, as most of them are focused only on nancial
results and do not have any schemes or programmes that
aim to provide the ‘emotional’ nurturing, which is much
needed for the satisfaction of the workforce; in the absence
of such initiatives that focus on employees’ mental health
and emotional well-being, employees eventually get
bogged down and burn out if the emotional aspects or
needs of their persona aren’t nurtured. For example, in
a typical work scenario populated by millennials, what
counts as important for them over and above monetary
salary that they receive includes labour exibility, style of
dress, and constant rotation in their jobs; these are aspects
that also aect the consolidation of a work team.
e objective of this article is to dene how
companies can establish an emotional salary model to
allow collaborators the enjoyment of their occupational
activities and their family life. is article is divided into six
parts. e rst part presents a thematic contextualisation;
the second part, the problem, justication, research
questions, and objectives; the third part, the state of the
art and the epistemological fundamentals; the fourth
part, the development of the methodology; the h part,
research results; and the sixth part, conclusions.
2. Strategic Management of
Human Talent
In the human talent concept, the role of human
management areas of leaders involves the construction of
a new approach that makes it possible to have relevance
within companies, and to lead processes close to the
collaborators, observing the human beings in a holistic
manner.2
Within the variables considered for assessing the
strategic management area, human talent is a crucial
dierentiating and competitive factor within companies,
the context of a comprehensive management, and the
dierence in management perceptions about the general
business strategy of the company and their strategic
approach to utilising the human talent. Analysing this
perceptual dierence that comes to the fore because
of the ‘human glance’ works well for analysing and
understanding and developing ways that companies can
implement to improve and strengthen the human factor
and develop appropriate labour conditions; conditions
that ensure the hygiene and safety of all at the workplace
and strengthen both the organisations’ business and the
work environment.3
In addition, within the business activities, one of the
organisation’s tasks, whatever their economic sector
and size, is to consider the human talent. is allows to
develop and consolidate a structure of the company that
can help the company compete better in the markets and
achieve results that are positive and contribute to the
consolidation and business growth of the organisation.
Some factors to consider within the human talent
management processes that this area required to full
include the following: the needs of the company, dening
the required resource, inviting appropriate personnel
with the right prole to ll in the vacant position, ensure
the chosen sta member has all the required skills for
putting out the best performance in the new position; in
other words, it is about giving due credence to all these
needs and act on them consistently; company must keep
looking for collaborators in an ongoing manner who can
contribute for the company to grow at an accelerated rate
and keep pace with the competition by nurturing and
retaining its best talents.4
Also, strategic management of human talent must
be an essential part of, and conceived from, the goals
of the organisational strategic plan, in order to get the
best collaborators who can help the company achieve its
business objectives. e human talent area should change
its internal look, that is to say, it should stop being a mere
operational aspect of the company and become a more
strategic and tactical area of the organisation.5
2.1. Humanised Management
e humanised management process as explained by
some scholars6 is that when the human talent acts as a
generator of a competitive process, which contributes
to the construction of a company, it ensures company’s
survival in the market and yield results that allow the
organisation to tackle the challenges of the environment
as well as the demands of the market; to achieve all of
this, organisation needs only a few collaborators who
are motivated to perform well and carry out and achieve
organisational activities and goals in a timely manner.
Today’s organisations see their partners as executors of
the activities characteristic of the work assigned to them;
that indicates a situation where such partners are only
concerned about receiving a salary, forgetting as a result

Catalina Quintero López and Javier Sebastían Ruíz Santacruz
what truly motivates them and enhances, or helps them
realise, their true potential and gain recognition and
appreciation, which are just as important as the salary they
earn; likewise, you lose sight of the concept that companies
must work collaboratively to achieve organisational
objectives and initiate steps that strengthen and build
a management that is focused on the ‘human’ element
and talent within the organisation and psychological
and material well-being of the collaborators’ family
environment.7
e humanised management must consider the
fundamental aspects to be able to consolidate the dignity
of work and the ways and attitude and the spirit with which
work is required to be performed—including traits such
as partners’ enthusiasm and motivation; organisational
identity, ethics, and work culture; and partners’ values,
permanence, and relevance—and respond to what the
company expects of the employee to become the input
to a humanised management, which in turn creates a
stable state or work environment where employees feel
motivated to perform better for the company as well as
lead their personal lives in a more healthy, emotionally
fullling, and positive domestic environment.8
2.2. Loyalty of Collaborators
e need to retain the collaborators is as important
as the loyalty of the external customers or buyers. e
onus of promoting loyalty of the sta starts from the
top management, and it is the responsibility of the
management of human talent; in this sense, it must be
ensured that there exists an internal policy that ensures
that the partners feel and believe they are an important
part of the company9; in addition, plans should be
designed that communicate the strategies, objectives,
goals, organisational culture, and mission and vision of
the company; empower the internal customer to identify
the organisation as an ally and that they are as important
as of the company’s external customers, competition, and
other stakeholders; and promote, establish relationships
between the company and the personnel that positively
inuence and enhance the quality of personal life
of the workforce as well as the company’s business
competitiveness.
e laboral quality is related to factors such as
retaining their best-performing partners and providing
value to them. us, businesses should look for partners
to have stability, and to achieve this, you need to establish
a space of sta training and development.10 In this way,
partners can be evaluated and have delity at the time of
the decision to withdraw. Equally, it is required on the
part of the partners to perform their best for the company,
which is entitled to feel pride and satisfaction about their
performance; the company’s work must enjoy an equal
status with the interpersonal relationships that are based
on respect and the work dignity.
If a collaborator is satised, motivated, and has interest
in remaining in the organisation, it is an important
factor in gaining and retaining customers; collaborators
interaction with customers reects their mood, whether
pleasant or not; thus, the work of the management is to
motivate their partners and ensure they act committed to
reect this motivation in the quality of service provided
to the client, which results in a successful organisation,
a happy workforce, and a satised client.11 Modern and
competitive organisations develop plans to achieve
on-time permanence in time, and this needs the company
to be ecient; to do this, company may establish indicators
that measure the actions of each partner; in this way, the
attention of the employee must be within the tactical plan
of the organisation to be able to identify which are the
aspects of the performance that require and need partners
and identify factors that will bring in positive changes and
retain the best talent.12
2.3. Human Capital
e human capital is seen as an asset for the organisation
and must be considered not only as an individual strength
but also as the collective strength of a group of people in
pursuit of organisational objectives; the company thus
analyses prole factors such as age, expertise, and skills
already acquired and need to be developed. To consider
the nancial cost of these collaborators, company
needs to additionally weigh in a set of characteristics
that dene the productive life of a contributor, such as
age, retirement, job changes, diseases, and academic
preparation, analysing in a comprehensive and precise
manner what it needs to full its objectives.13
One of the exponents representative of human capital
was,14 who believed that the processes of global change,
presented in the life and work of a collaborator, impact
the purpose of the company, from quality to knowledge
management to innovation; this means it is not about just
analysing company plans using the numerical measure of
the cost of employees, but analysing their contribution

4
from the point of its growth trajectory, academic
preparation, and experience to nd ways to contribute to
incremental productivity and develop competitive human
capital that is responsive to the needs of the environment
and the company.
e evolution of a country can be measured by its
capacity for innovation and knowledge of their citizens.14
Similarly, for companies also, it is their human capital that
distinguishes them from another company. at is why it
is important to appreciate that knowledge is an important
asset for the company, which is accomplished with
training, preparation, and support at the workplace.14
e processes of human talent should strengthen the
relationship within the company; further, it should
be of concern to seek a human orientation based on a
measurement of employee performance that focus on
results; thus, organisations must constantly prepare, train,
and strengthen their collaborators, in aspects of respect,
education, interpersonal relationships, teamwork, and
change management; if the management does this
consistently and achieve repetitive measurements, it can
obtain very favourable results for the organisation.15
2.4. Skills in the Labor Market
To dene the current competencies necessary to
perform the work activity, it is important to analyse
the requirements of the labour market of today, that
is, the skills and competences required to function in a
particular role or position within the company. en we
can nd authors that expose the concept of competition in
the labour market. e labour competence characterises
the work environment and behaviour and indicates the
level of successful performance on the job.1618 Labor
competence is determined by aspects such as decision-
making responsibilities, ability of service, employees’
attitude in the face of complex situations, academic
preparation, and career with the partner contributing
to the achievement of the objectives of the company.19
Actions aimed at labour competencies establish and
dene what the company wants from the contributor,
from the point of view of the competitive performance
on the job. Labor competence is a way to measure the
behaviour of the collaborator with respect to dierent
situations that arise in the day-to-day functioning, level of
empowerment and strengthening of relationships in the
work team and their relationships with their superiors.20
On the other hand, in labour relations in the light of
the concept of method based on employee behaviour or
skills,21 it is the individual who can provide the answer
whether the needs of the company can be met; each
person has specic features, such as physical features;
values, skills, and attitudes; desire for professional growth;
training in the management of knowledge; and skills for
the development of the activities of the organisation.
e skills that must be developed in the organisation
are focused on social aspects, such as the relationship with
co-workers as well as with citizens and being consistent
in their relationship with the workplace and the society.
Another skill that is highlighted is with respect to the
procedure, which is a method that is explained and
written to comply with the working activities without
aecting the other processes. Finally, the participatory
skills make the partners perceive they are important to
the organisation; this is done by involving them more in
work activities and business integration processes. us,
labour skills are key to companies’ success and enable
companies respond eectively to the needs of the market,
society, interest groups, and competitors.22
In addition, organisations, regardless of size, must be
open to change, adapt to trends that exist in the market,
and in particular trends in what works in scouting and
retaining the best of human talent. With respect to
human talent that businesses require, organisations
should nurture and train their personnel to sharpen their
interpersonal skills, leadership qualities, and decision-
making and negotiation skills; these are the skills that
contributors must develop specic to the company
objectives; each job denes what specic skills are
required for the performance of the work with results.23
2.5. Emotional Salary
Globalisation of economy has brought about changes in
work processes, generating massive layos, and leading to
a decrease of continuity in work tenure in organisations
and poor-quality labour conditions.24 How should these
conditions be improved, given the changes in the policies
of human talent? From this perspective, the concept of
emotional salary, in the quest to improve interpersonal
relationships, and strengthen the productivity and
competitiveness of the organisations, is needed to be
followed to tackle today’s competitive global market.
e emotional wage is associated with non-monetary
remuneration, which manages to motivate the employee
to perform with greater productivity. Loyalty to the
organisation is also determined by conditions prevailing
in relation to aspects such as employment, interpersonal

Catalina Quintero López and Javier Sebastían Ruíz Santacruz
relationships between peers, positive organisational
climate, and satisfaction with the activity developed.25
e management of emotional wage contributes to an
organisation’s competitiveness, which is based on the
motivation of the collaborators and valuing partners
looking for a humane and balanced labour activity
between family and work¹. It is important to recognise that
labour activity is not only to produce and generate prots
in the company but also identify components inherent
in the human beings, such as emotions, psychological
health, self-realisation, and personal objectives.
e emotional wage pertains to all those non-monetary
reasons for which people work and thus a key element
for people to feel at ease, committed, and well-aligned
in their respective jobs.26 Salary is an intangible that
complements the economic wage, which a collaborator
receives in consideration of their labour activity. It is
implicit in the concept of basic needs which has a direct
impact on individual well-being and on performance and
productivity.27
e emotional salary is any form of compensation,
remuneration, non-monetary consideration, which an
employee receives in exchange for their labour input.28
is non-monetary consideration involves considering
contributor-specic factors, such as family, hobbies,
and emotional and physical state, related to aspects of
individual requests for extra labour and considering that
each employee is an individual with dierent needs.29
ese individual needs also have a relationship with
emotional intelligence, which shows how to act and reect
on the way to we react to situations reexively, making
our emotions support our behaviour; in addition, it
collaborators to take cogent view of their professional and
personal decisions.30 At this point, one can conclude that
salary is a factor that contributes to the company for its
construction of a positive organisational climate reecting
the vision and plan of life of each collaborator within the
company; if they are going in the same direction, both
parties manage to complement each other in their quest
to achieve goals that each of the actors proposes.31
2.6. Laboral Satisfaction
Laboral satisfaction is a globalising concept that refers to
the attitudes of people towards various aspects of work.32
e laboral satisfaction, motivation, and organisational
climate make business development an articulated and
structured process that seeks to identify factors that
can have a positive impact on collaborators, which in
turn is reected in the organisation.33 e contributor
must reect upon company motivation and satisfaction
to full tasks assigned to them eciently and by means
of a positive attitude contribute to developing a positive
climate and satisfaction at the time of interacting with
other collaborators. A positive organisation aims for a
few partners’ satisfaction; policies must be created that
stimulate a harmonious development and articulate the
attitudes, behaviours, and spirit of team work, thereby
ensuring that the company is contributing to a better
living of its employees. Within this attitude of each
individual exists the cognitive part, that is to say, the way
an employee sees, feels, and experiences their work and
their actions within the company.34
3. Methodology
e research focused on the logic of an analytical empirical
paradigm according to the object of study proposed and
the nature of the approach to the problem. Explanatory
research was carried out—not experimental, cross-
sectional, and deductive.35 e sample was composed
of 175 companies in the commercial sector that have
between 51 and 200 employees, who were actively earning
between US$1’346.968 and US$8’081.813 and were
located in the city of Medellín. e sample design was
stratied probabilistic, the sample had a 95% reliability
and a maximum error of estimate of 7.0%. e hypotheses
were:
H1. (Research hypotheses): e strategic, motivational,
human, and value creation dimensions explain the
construction of an emotional salary model consistent
with the logic of the strategic management of human
talent, humanised management, and modern enterprise.
H0. (Null hypotheses): e strategic, motivational,
human, and value creation dimensions do not explain
the construction of an emotional salary model consistent
with the logic of the strategic management of human
talent, humanised management, and modern business.
Considering a nite population, the size of the sample
was determined using the following formula:
3.1. Variables and Dimensions
e instrument structure is composed of a set of items
presented in the form of statements with a Likert scale
(1-5) shown in Table 1:

3.1.1. Strategic Dimension
e study focuses on identifying how by using strategic
planning items can be set that help design the model of
emotional salary. It contributes in a wide range, from
the direction of the organisation to the construction
of a healthy and motivated company and includes the
following items: organisational culture, leadership and
management support, exible organisational structure,
resources and organisational capacities, style of leadership
and direction of management, management of human
talent, working conditions, and organisational climate.
3.1.2. Motivational Dimension
e contributors are the strategic asset of the organisation,
which is why they must remain motivated to respond
satisfactorily to the organisations external environment
and customer requirements. It is the motivation to work,
together with other elements that make a contributor to
perceive that it is important for the company, includes
the following items: working conditions, labour surveys,
self-improvement, personal growth, professional growth,
remuneration policy, scale of acknowledgments, labour
exibility, and laboral happiness.
3.1.3. Human Dimension
Determined by the conditions that allow you to achieve the
results and generate a competitive advantage, departing
from the team of collaborators, it includes the following
items: self-realisation, opportunity of promotion, training
opportunities, commitment to organisation, personal
attitude, loyalty to co-workers, family time, respect for
diversity, and healthy living.
3.1.4. Creation of Value Dimension
e management of the value relates to the design and
implementation of a strategy that integrates the business
processes to better utilise available resources (capital)
in such a way that results generated (measured not
only in nancial performance but also in satisfaction of
customers, employees, and the community in general)
are higher than expected by investors and includes the
following items: economic bonuses, allowances and
bonuses, retention plan for best collaborators, budget for
training, recognition, management by objectives to retain
customers through actions of collaborators, planning of
health policies, and compensation to partners according
to results and creation of value.
4. Results
e following are the results found aer the application
of the test dened for the construction of a model of
emotional salary. In the rst place, we proceeded to
validation by experts, in order to design a test to measure
and collect information that is relevant and appropriate.
e expert panel was comprised of eleven teachers,
researchers, and professionals with experience in research
projects in dierent disciplines, which contributed to
the interdisciplinarity of the study; the objective was to
determine whether the proposed items have a relationship
with the design of the model of emotional salary; we
reviewed 47 items, which are valued by means of a Likert
scale, where 1 = strongly agree, 2 = agree, 3 = somewhat
agree, 4 = disagree, and 5 = strongly disagree; the main
purpose of the validation of the instrument was that it
complied with the criteria of reliability, objectivity, and
validity for later application.
Once the instrument was validated, the experts
proceeded with the purication of the test, which resulted
in the reduction of number of items from 47 to 34
items, and their subsequent application; the application
of test was carried out in companies according to the
characterisation of the sample proposal, which in this
case were 176 companies that belong to the segment
of medium-sized enterprises according to number of
employees and assets and all were located geographically
in the city of Medellín. Subsequent to the application of
the test, and in the consolidation of the responses on the
part of each one of the units of study, we proceeded to
complete the database with all the information and then
commenced data processing using SPPS soware, version
24 and generated dierent statistical details. e following

indexes, and then in a detailed manner, the tables, gures,
and tables presented here explain the study’s ndings.
e rst part of the analysis of the results is made up of
the characterisation of each of the dimensions proposed,
that is, strategic dimension, human management,
motivational factors, and value creation; for this, we
dened a matrix that allowed us to prove the equivalence
between the scores and the standard scores obtained in
the validation process. e second analysis was carried
out on the basis of the scales of each of the dimensions,
as well as the strategic dimension, and it presented a
standard score in a range of 1 to 5, and for the human
dimension the standard score was for a range of 1 to 3.33;
the dimension of value creation is dened with a standard
score in the range of 3.86 to 1, and for the motivational
dimension the standard score for symptoms absent was
in the range of 1 to 4.
e reliability of the test was developed from an analysis
of statistical reliability through the Cronbach’s alpha; this
was applied to the number of items in general, then based
on the results obtained in the analysis of reliability, it was
determined that it is clear that the instrument with which
it is evaluating the sample is appropriate to that eect,
taking into account the statistical signicance that was
arrived at: 0.941. en we proceeded to use Cronbachs
alpha to determine the internal consistency of the items;
we correlated each of the items that were used in the test
and again applied the Cronbach’s alpha.
e following analysis shows the variance between
factors; it is noted these are mutually exclusive, as their
signicance is less than 0.00, and in relation to the overall
scale of measurement, the Cronbachs alpha statistic was
0.854. In addition, a factor analysis was performed to
determine the number and the nature of the group of
constructs that are underlying as a set of independent
variables that aect the dependent variable; for this
purpose, we used the statistical value of Kaiser-Meyer-
Olkin (KMO) and Bartlett’s Chi-square test; the null
hypothesis revealed that the correlation matrix was not
dierent from the identity matrix, and the alternative
hypothesis showed that the correlation matrix diered
signicantly from the identity matrix.
en we analysed the explained variance, with the cloud
of points adjusted to a perfect sphere, and this statistic was
greater than 0.65; it can be said that the factorial analysis
procedure applied is optimal in this case. Also, the results
are analysed on the basis of the factor loading obtained
for each component aer rotation. For the rst component
items were grouped that determined the motivational load
from the management; the second group of items refer to
the strategic factors of the organisation; the third group
of items refer to the human component, factors such as
personal growth within companies; and the fourth and
last refer to the composition of the items concerning the
dimension of value creation in the enterprise or on the job.
en, the results are determined with respect to the
characterisation of each dimension, the questions that
are involved in the strategic dimension are focused on
processes of addressing, and all answers are mostly of
people who responded armatively (1 and 2), representing
about 92% of the answers, with a slight dispersion
between answers. e results of the human dimension are
focused on processes of opportunities for advancement
of collaborators, where all the answers were mostly from
people who responded armatively (1 and 2), representing
about 92% of answers, but with a slight deviation between
the responses obtained. As to the questions that involved
the dimension of value creation, which are focused on
business situations and relationship with the client, most
of the respondents answered armatively (1 and 2), about
90%, and there was minimum dispersion between the
responses obtained. About the motivational dimension,
it was noted that the questions involving this dimension
extracted armative answers mostly (1 and 2), about 85%,
and there was greater dispersion among the answers.
Finally, the last two analyses are the Kappa index, which
relates the agreement that the observers exhibited, beyond
the due chance, with the potential agreement, which was
also beyond the random. e process of development
of the index calculated the dierence between the
proportion, according to what has been observed, and
the proportion of agreement expected by chance.36 At
the same time, symmetric measures that measure the
statistical methods for the evaluation of the consistency
and reproducibility are dependent on the characteristics
of the phenomenon to study and should be subject to a
rigorous methodology and be specic. Our selection
depended on the variable type to be measured and the
parameters we wanted to evaluate. Table 2 presents the
characterisation of the dimensions or components:
en, there was an array of equivalence between the
scores and the standard scores obtained in the validation
process for each of the variables and the global scale,
showing the values with which it will be possible to
compare the scores with populations similar to the
study. Typical scores used for the standardisation of the

instrument are 1 and 2, which correspond to the ranges
of standard scores obtained in relation to each of the
deviations of the variables evaluated.
For the studied population is that the strategic
dimension, presents a standard score in a range of 1 to 5,
and for the human presents a standard score in a range of
1 to 3.33; the creation of value is set with a standard score
in a range of 1 to 3.86; and for the motivational presents a
standard score for symptoms absent in a range of 1 to 4.
e target population, under a normal curve is dened as
a structure of approximate values for the factors or each
of the components that are dened on the basis of the
following measures. Table 3, presents the main descriptive
statistics:
On the other hand, it uses the method of internal
consistency based on the Cronbachs alpha test
(1951), which allows us to estimate the reliability of a
measurement instrument through a set of items, based on
the quantication of the correlation that exists between
the items that comprise it. e measure of the reliability
using Cronbach’s alpha assumes that the items (measured
on a Likert-type scale) measure the same construct and
are highly correlated.
4.1. Analysis of Reliability Results
For the analysis of reliability of the test, we used the
Cronbach’s alpha statistic, which was applied to the
number of items in general and, in addition, the
number of elements. Based on the results obtained in
the analysis of reliability, it is clear that the instrument
used for evaluating the sample was appropriate, taking
into account the statistical signicance at 0.941. Table 4
presents the Cronbachs alpha.
To determine the consistency of items their correlation
of each of the elements was studied and the Cronbach’s
alpha coecient was again applied to the study results.
Table 5 presents the Cronbach’s alpha statistic for items
deleted:
If you look at every one of the items above, it is evident
that there is no greater dierence between each score of
the construct and that the values obtained are signicant
statistically. However, taking into account the analysis of
variance between the factors, it is noted that based on the
instrument applied the factors were mutually exclusive,
as the signicance was less than 0.00; and in relation to
the overall scale of measurement, the Cronbachs alpha
was 0.854, which indicates a level of reliability for each
one of the variables and the global scale, establishing
a high level of condence for the measurement of an
emotional wage model in similar populations; the values
in each of the dimensions are: strategic dimension, with
an alpha of 0.830; human dimension, with an alpha of
0.779; the creation of value, with a rating of 0.774; and
the motivational speaker, with an alpha of 0.789. Table 6
presents the variance analysis:
e independence between the items is intervened by
the prior verication of the assumptions to assess how big
can be the estimation bias, since they are calculated by the
eect of the correlation between the errors of the alpha.
At the same time, contrast is generated on the assumption
that there is a multiplicative interaction between the

elements; the responses of each treatment group are the
sum of the overall average coupled to a random eect that
is associated with the general response. In this way, and
taking into account the value of statistical signicance,
it can be concluded that the elements set approve the
hypothesis that eects are not additive. In addition, a factor
analysis was performed to determine the number and the
nature of the group of constructs that are underlying as

a set of independent variables that aect the dependent
variable. Table 7 presents the sphericity results:
Taking as a basis the statistical value of KMO and
Bartlett, which is based on the Chi-square test, the null
hypothesis says that the correlation matrix is not going to
dierentiate it from the identity matrix, and the alternative
hypothesis says that the correlation matrix will dier
signicantly from the identity matrix; the cloud of points
is adjusted to a perfect sphere, and this statistic, higher
than 0.65, can show that the factorial analysis procedure
applied was optimal in this case. Table 8 presents the
explained variance:
Continuing with the process is a varimax rotation;
this method maximises the variance of factors. On the
other hand, the proportion of variability of each variable
explained by the factors or is the sum of the weights
factor to the square in each row and each column of the
matrix where rotated factorial loads will be high with
some variables, and low with others, which facilitated
the interpretation. Table 9 presents the factor loading
obtained for each component aer rotation:
From the factor loading obtained for the interpretation
of each component, it was observed that for the rst of
them are grouped items that determine the motivational
load from the management; the second group of items
refer to the strategic factors from the organisation; the
third, for its part, brings together items that refer to the
human component, such as factors for personal growth
within organisations; and the fourth and last refer to
the composition of items concerning the dimension of
value creation in the enterprise or on the job. e values
that determine whether the variables are distributed
or not normally endorse the alternative hypothesis—
that variables do not come from a normal distribution.
So it is appropriate to establish a non-parametric
analysis to interpret the results. However, for each of
the dimensions, the ratings obtained, according to the
characterisation of the answers, were the following.
Table 10 presents the characterisation of the strategic
dimension:
It is noted that the questions in this dimension are
focused on processes of addressing, and all answers
are routed, the vast majority of people who respond
positively (1 and 2), representing about a 92%, with a
slight dispersion among the answers. Table 11, presents
the characterisation of the human dimension:
According to the above results, the questions of this
dimension are focused on processes of development
opportunities of employees, where all the answers are
routed, and the vast majority of people =responded
positively (1 and 2, representing about a 92%); there was
a slight deviation between the responses obtained. Table
12 presents the characterisation of the value creation
dimension:
e questions involving this dimension correspond
to processes of loyalty in the business eld, and the
vast majority of people responded positively (1 and 2,
representing about a 94%); there was a slight dispersion
among the answers. Table 13 presents the characterisation
of the motivational dimension:
On the other hand, it is noted that the questions
involving this dimension are focused mostly on people
who responded armatively (1 and 2, representing about

accordance with the sample size, the condence level,

if appropriate, compares the responses with the values
“pattern” or “reference” (also known as “standard values”).
e analysis uses the ratings or ratings of the attributes.37
In this sense, the Kappa index is traditionally used; it is
an instrument designed by Cohen that adjusts the eect
of chance in the proportion of the observed agreement
and represents the maximum possible agreement or
concordance, not due to chance.38 e Kappa index
related to the agreement that exhibits the observers,
beyond the due to chance, with the potential agreement,
also beyond the chance. e process of development
of the index is to calculate the dierence between the
proportion, according to what has been observed, and
the proportion, according to what was expected by
chance. e numerator of the Kappa coecient expresses
the proportion of the observed as less than expected,
while the denominator is the dierence between total
agreement and the expected proportion by chance. In
conclusion, the Kappa corrects the agreement only by
chance, as is the proportion of the agreement noted
that exceeds the proportion by chance. If this value is
equal to 1, we would be faced with a situation in which
the concordance is perfect (100% of total agreement or
agreement), and, therefore, the proportion by chance
is zero; when the value is 0, there is total disagreement
and then the expected proportion by chance is equal to
the observed proportion. Table 15 presents the results of
symmetric measures for each Kappa:
According to the results obtained in each of the
associated answers to the experts consulted, the
concordance is almost perfect, is between moderate
and good.39 Statistical methods for the evaluation of
the consistency and reproducibility are dependent on
the characteristics of the phenomenon to be studied
and should be subject to a rigorous methodology. Your
selection depends on the type of variable to be measured
and the parameters that you want to evaluate.
5. Conclusions
From the empirical analysis, we found that for companies
that are proposing that a strategic management of
human talent it is necessary to achieve productivity and
competitiveness in the sector of the economy that the
company has stronger sales, bigger market share, and
is looking to increase clients, who are valued and well-
attended; this is achieved with satised employees in the
emotional and labour dimensions.
In the statistical analysis of predictive explanatory type,
it was found that the instrument was validated by experts;
the responses of the test by employers and the results
that were found in each of the statistical indices analysed
allow to conclude that the model of emotional salary
should be considered by the companies of any size or type
of organisation, thus allowing to nd the relationship
between satisfaction, employment, and productivity; it is
a way to nd healthy companies in both the internal and
external environments.
e signicant results, which give validity to the test
and to the relationship of the dimensions and items,
showed a Cronbachs alpha of 0.0941. at indicates an
excellent result of all items identied, and a signicance
value big enough for this type of analysis. At the same
time, the measure of Kaiser Permanente, Mayer and
Olkin (KMO), by means of the Chi-square test, was able
to demonstrate a superior outcome of 0.65, which states
that the factorial analysis applied is optimal in this case.
Dening an emotional wage policy in organisations
allows to reduce levels of job dissatisfaction, rotation
of sta, and medical disabilities caused by stress,
tiredness, or by carrying out prolonged, time-consuming
activities by the implementing partners; this implies
that there are situations of dissatisfaction, frustration,
and lack of interest in the work. With regard to the
science, companies now have a model that may provide,
according to their needs, an instrument for continuous
improvement and a model that contributes to the logic
of the humanised management, stressing that it was the

... Especialmente las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES), a menudo luchan por adoptar prácticas de beneficio emocional, a partir de las limitaciones presupuestarias y estructurales (Solís y Burgos, 2023). No obstante, estudios han demostrado que incluso en estos entornos, la adopción de estrategias de salario emocional puede tener un impacto significativo en la motivación de los empleados, mejorando la productividad y competitividad de las empresas (Gil, Bentancur, Quintero, Puerta y Quintero, 2019). ...
... Por un lado, la implementación del salario emocional varía en Latinoamérica, según factores económicos, culturales y organizacionales de las diferentes regiones que la componen (Pérez, 2018). En México, se ha observado que la flexibilidad laboral y el reconocimiento son componentes esenciales del salario emocional para mejorar la satisfacción laboral y la retención de talento (Intriago y Zambrano, 2023), mientras que, en Colombia, hay mayor atención en aspectos del equilibrio de vida personal y laboral y en el desarrollo personal de los colaboradores (Gil et al., 2019). ...
... Espinoza y Toscano (2020), destacan que la implementación de estas estrategias mejora significativamente la motivación, reduce el estrés y aumenta la satisfacción general de los empleados.

RESUMEN El objetivo fue analizar el impacto del salario emocional, mediante compensación no monetaria, en la productividad laboral en las organizaciones de Latinoamérica. Se aplicó una metodología descriptiva con diseño documental. Se realizó una revisión exhaustiva de 20 artículos científicos publicados entre los años 2013 y 2023, conformando la muestra teórica. El análisis destacó los desafíos y beneficios asociados a la implementación de estrategias de salario emocional en las organizaciones. A partir de los hallazgos, se extrae un modelo teórico de salario emocional. Las conclusiones enfatizan la necesidad de adaptar las políticas de salario emocional bajo contextos específicos. ABSTRACT The objective was to analyze the impact of emotional salary, through non-monetary compensation, on labor productivity in Latin American organizations. A descriptive methodology with documentary design was applied. An exhaustive review of 20 scientific articles published between 2013 and 2023 was carried out, forming the theoretical sample. The analysis revealed the challenges and benefits associated with the implementation of emotional salary strategies in organizations. From the findings, a theoretical model of emotional salary is extracted. Conclusions emphasize the need to tailor emotional salary policies under specific contexts.
... A medida que el mundo laboral evoluciona, cada vez es más evidente que el bienestar emocional y la satisfacción en el trabajo son factores críticos que influyen en el desempeño y la retención del personal en las organizaciones (González, 2017;Vera et al., 2019), por lo que en la presente investigación, se entrelazan tres elementos fundamentales en la vida de los trabajadores: el salario emocional, el compromiso organizacional y el rendimiento laboral. ...

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la relación entre el salario emocional, el compromiso organizacional y el rendimiento laboral en una muestra de trabajadores relacionados con la industria maquiladora, considerando las pautas establecidas en la NOM-035-STPS-2018. La metodología empleada en este estudio fue de naturaleza cuantitativa. Se aplicaron 117 encuestas a trabajadores pertenecientes a la industria maquiladora para recopilar datos sobre su percepción del salario emocional que reciben, su nivel de compromiso organizacional y su rendimiento laboral. La selección de variables y su medición se realizó siguiendo las directrices establecidas en la NOM-035-STPS-2018, que aborda los factores de riesgo psicosocial en el entorno laboral. Para el análisis de datos, se utilizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales mediante el método de mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM). Este enfoque permitió examinar la influencia del salario emocional en el compromiso organizacional y su posterior efecto en el rendimiento laboral. Los resultados obtenidos en esta investigación indican que el salario emocional solo tiene un efecto significativo en el rendimiento laboral cuando existe un compromiso afectivo por parte del empleado hacia la empresa, lo cual es coherente con las consideraciones de la NOM-035-STPS-2018.
... Entre los componentes importantes del salario emocional se encuentran la flexibilidad laboral, oportunidades de desarrollo profesional, trabajo remoto, y acceso a espacios que fomentan el equilibrio entre la vida laboral y personal. Para comprender como se construye el salario emocional, es esencial integrar teorías de administración, gestión moderna y desarrollo del talento humano (Gil, V. et al., 2019). ...
... Emotional salary is associated with non-monetarily compensated activities that can motivate employees, leaving them more satisfied and inclined to perform with increased productivity [49]. According to SDT, organizational practices like emotional salary management can help satisfy the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness [7]. ...

The concept of emotional salary refers to the non-monetary rewards granted to workers, focusing on improving interpersonal relationships, strengthening productivity, and enhancing the competitiveness of organizations. The topic of emotional salary is still recent and lacks empirical studies demonstrating its beneficial effects for both workers (e.g., job satisfaction) and organizations (e.g., performance). Therefore, to expand knowledge about the benefits of emotional salary, the present study used the self-determination theory to hypothesize that motivation and satisfaction would serve as affective mechanisms linking emotional salary to workers’ performance. Through a non-experimental correlational study, an online questionnaire was administered to 215 workers from various organizations. The results showed that emotional salary influenced performance (task, contextual, and adaptive) by increasing motivation and job satisfaction. The results also indicated evidence of a serial mediation path between emotional salary, motivation, satisfaction, and then performance. From a management perspective, considering emotional salary as an organizational resource capable of motivating and satisfying workers is a starting point for acknowledging the practical and theoretical importance of this concept, as well as a strategy to contribute to organizational sustainability.
... Among the main sections that could make up this 18.6% and that may affect the generation of commitment, the literature considers the possibility of organisations offering employees teleworking (Sánchez-Toledo, 2021) and/or assessing salary policies that include emotional pay (Lópera et al., 2019) or social benefits (Torres Flórez & Gutiérrez Rincón, 2023). ...

The aim of the study is to identify the variables relating to the management of labour relations and conflicts that occur within hotel companies and how these enable the generation of employee engagement. A quantitative approach is presented in which a multiple linear regression is used to identify those variables with the greatest influence in making the people who make up the organisation feel committed to it. The tool used to collect information was a questionnaire made up of 56 items measured on a Likert scale and completed by workers with at least 5 years' experience in the sector. Among the variables that generate greater engagement, the following stand out: feeling informed, the possibility of reconciling work and family life, fair pay, pride in belonging, a clear vision of the job or the option of complaining in the event of unfair treatment. There is scope for companies to increase this engagement by including social benefits, the possibility of teleworking or emotional pay.

Purpose This study analyses the concept of happiness management based on the empirical validation of the interactions between emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work. It complements a holistic view of the management models used in recent corporate governance. This perspective explores the dimension’s emotional wage mediating role and influences on organisational justice and happiness at work. The effect of organisational justice on happiness at work is also analysed. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study is proposed. A sample of 502 workers in the education sector in Costa Rica was selected. A structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was developed to test the proposed theoretical model. The SPSS-AMOS 23 and SmartPLS 4 computer programs are used for this purpose. Findings The results show that emotional wage has a positive impact on happiness at work and that it mediates positively between organisational justice and happiness at work. Developing organisational policies to include these variables as necessary resources for corporate governance is recommended. Research limitations/implications The first limitation of this study is due to the type of sampling, which was purposive. The kind of population and the time of execution of this study were determining factors when deciding on the mode of application of the instrument. However, an attempt to reduce the bias associated with this element could be made by expanding the sample to as many respondents as possible. The second limitation was that the data were collected within a specific time frame. Longitudinal studies address Thcould. The third limitation stems from the scarcity of literature on happiness management. In this regard, this type of research currently needs to be explored in emerging economies. It makes it difficult to determine whether the empirical results obtained in this paper can be generalised to other territories in the global village. Moreover, the last limitation is that the authors of this research have only explored the moderating role of emotional pay in the relationship between the dimensions of organisational justice and happiness at work. It would be interesting to consider other mediating variables to have a clearer picture of the organisational justice–happiness at work construct from the happiness management approach. Practical implications As already indicated throughout this research, emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work are constructs that positively drive employee satisfaction, motivation and well-being. Human talent management strategies undertaken by organisations should encourage the adaptation of actions that stimulate employees' quality of life, corporate social responsibility and ethical management practices to be more competitive in today’s markets. It requires implementing the dynamic management models that provide internal customers with a high sense of belonging, job satisfaction and commitment to their professional performance. In other words, this will require robust leadership styles and corporate cultures that stimulate employee creativity, loyalty and innovation. For this reason, management of organisations must implement human resources policies to attract and retain creative talent through happy leadership. It requires, among other things that the philosophy of happiness management becomes a critical strategic resource for companies to promote nonfinancial benefits for employees, including emotional wage (Ruiz-Rodríguez et al., 2023). Social implications In the current business environment, there has been a transformation in leadership styles, motivation and the development of a sense of belonging in organisations' human capital. Based on this trend, the study of happiness management becomes a social strategy to improve the conditions, in which the organisations compete to attract highly demanded human capital. It is why this research contributes elements that have an impact on citizenship by proposing the management models based on happiness at work and quality of life. Originality/value This study adds to the happiness management literature by including emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work in human resources and strategic management. It also contributes to the academic debate on the need to formulate organisational cultures that empower workers in their professional performance based on happiness and positive emotions.

In recent years, there has been a strong discussion on the need of making Mexico's labor market more flexible, in order to increase employment levels and for better competitive conditions vis a vis the rest of emerging markets. Several countries in Europe and Latin America have carried out a series of labor reforms since the 90's, with the purpose of reducing the high unemployment and in order to promote competitiveness of the production system, by means of a better use of human resources and imprinting more dynamism on economy. However, the results so far have been very controversial in some cases. Therefore, it is essential to know exactly what we mean when we talk about labor fexibility, because in some cases there are many different ideas and positions about its meaning and consequences. Also, it is important to indicate that there are several mechanisms of labor fexibility, which may affect different magnitudes in the labor market and the enterprise. This paper groups various positions about labor fexibility and analyzes the consequences of the use of each mechanism on economy, business and living conditions of workers.

Numerous pediatric research protocols are designed for assessing the degree of concordance between two observers; in other words, to determine the extent of their agreement. In order to determine the interobserver concordance, a frequently used statistical tool is available: the Kappa Coefficient (κ). The present article explains the theoretical background of this coefficient, the methodology employed for its calculation and the way in which its value is correctly interpreted. In simple terms, Kappa Coefficient (κ) corresponds to the proportion of concordances observed among the total number of observations, having excluded all random concordances. Kappa Coefficient (κ) adopts a value between -1 y +1, being the strongest degree of interobserver concordance equal to +1. On the contrary, a value of κ = 0 reflects that the observed concordance is precisely the one that is expected by chance. The interpretation of Kappa Coefficient (κ) is performed by correlating its value with a qualitative scale, which includes six level of strength of agreement ("poor", "slight", "fair", "moderate", "substantial" and "almost perfect"), simplifying its comprehension.
