Its absence creates a rupture in the firm's capacity to thrive in the market, named anomie. With the aim of looking more deeply into this subject, we have studied the relationship between anomie and social support at work, as well as professional self-concept, to understand and measure the cause-and-effect process. For this purpose, a model has been created to test this hypothesis, which has been analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling. The scales used have already been validated by other researches. The results provide evidence that the proposed model is suitable to identify and measure the relationship between the studied variables, and showing the level of impact that occurs on the system, created by organizational anomie, on social support at work and professional self-concept, together with their component parts. Keywords: organizational anomie, professional self-concept, organizational support perception, structural equation model. 1. Introduction The need to create an environment in which a sense of trust in the moral order that prevails in the labor network, and in the organizational structure where it occurs, has led scholars to amplify their comprehension of normative statements (norms) and their consequences, the moral behavior in the workplace; as well as the absence of these from the workers' point of view, named as anomie (Martin, Johnson, and Cullen, 2009). In view of this anomie has become a focus of much research to understand it from different perspectives whether at a societal or an individual level, as anomie is related to diverse elements such as cognitive and emotional factors, and beliefs that can be triggered by certain social condition interactions depending on the personal experiences of each individual.
