This study analysed the profiles of organizations based on employee perceptions of their workplace. The sample consisted\udof 459 Argentinian employees (232 men; average age, 36.3 years (SD = 11.7)). The participants worked for public\udcompanies (17.2%, n = 79) or private companies (82.6%, n = 379). Most of them lived in Buenos Aires and surrounding\udareas (96.5%, n = 443). A protocol was used for data collection, in which the participants were asked to report positive\udand negative characteristics associated with their organization. A content analysis of the answers given by the participants\udwas performed, from which different categories of characteristics were derived (e.g., work climate, commitment, values).\udSeveral multiple correspondence analyses were conducted to generate profiles according to individual variables (i.e.,\udgender, age, and position), organizational variables (i.e., size, typology, and type), and outcome variables (i.e., performance\udand job satisfaction). One of the most significant profiles showed associations between the perception of positive\udcharacteristics, such as values and outcomes, and high levels of satisfaction and individual/organizational performance
