Se ha realizado un estudio para buscar los factores que se asocian al rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de nivel superior de la ciudad de Rioverde, en el estado de San Luis Potosí, México. Fueron encuestados 365 alumnos, la mayoría de niveles socioeconómicos de clase media a baja, considerando los factores siguientes: promedio obtenido en bachillerato, su nivel socioeconómico, la orientación vocacional que han recibido, el nivel educativo de sus padres, algunas variables relacionadas con su visión futura y el género del alumno. Se encontró que han obtenido mejores calificaciones aquellos alumnos del género femenino, los que piensan continuar con sus estudios a nivel posgrado y los que han obtenido mejores promedios en el nivel bachillerato. No hubo asociación estadística entre el promedio de calificaciones en la licenciatura con la orientación vocacional, el nivel socioeconómico y el nivel educativo de sus padres.AbstractA study was performed to find the factors that are associated with the academic performance of students of higher level education in the city of Rio Verde, in the state of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. 365 students were surveyed, most of them from socio-economic levels ranging from middle to lower class and considering the following factors: the Grade Point Average (GPA) obtained by the students in their previous high school studies, their socio-economic level, career counselling they have received, the educational level of their parents and variables related with the perspective students have about their future situation and the student’s gender. It was found that better grades have been obtained by female students, by those that expect to continue their studies at the post-graduate level, and by those who obtained better grades in high school. There was not a statistical association between undergraduate students’ grades and their career counselling, socio-economic status and educational level of their parents.Recibido: 21 de enero de 2010 Aceptado: 8 de junio de 2010
This study analyzes the relationships between market forces, competitive strategies, market orientation, innovation, technological resources and capabilities, and organizational performance. The study was made in small firms (SMEs) in the industrial sector in the State of Queretaro with a non-probabilistic convenience sampling. A structural model was designed to test the variable relationships, using Amos software. The sample size was 116 and interviews were applied to collect data. To measure market forces, competitive strategies and market orientation Kohli and Jaworsky (1990), Segev (1987) and Narver and Slater (1990) scales were used. The items to measure technological and innovation capabilities and organizational performance were designed. The results of the study show that market forces have a significant impact on the competitive strategy, a non-significant impact on resources and capabilities and a negative one on performance, this last one being measured by organizational growth. The effect of competitive strategy is significant on market orientation, technological and innovation resources and capabilities and non-significant on organizational performance. These resources and capabilities have a significant influence on organizational performance. The results of this research emphasize the implementation of prospecting and analyzing strategies that create resources and capabilities which give value such as market orientation, technology and innovation, with economical benefits for organizations.
El presente estudio explora el patrón de jubilación de los trabajadores de la Universidad Autónoma de San Luis Potosí (UASLP), teniendo en cuenta variables como su edad, los años laborados, la categoría laboral, el sexo y el sistema de retiro de la UASLP. La información analizada muestra que el patrón de jubilación ha cambiado en los últimos años, al incrementarse el número de profesores jubilados. Hay diferencias en el tiempo en que se jubilan por categoría laboral y edad. Los empleados de servicio se jubilan anticipadamente y los funcionarios lo hacen tardíamente, lo cual se debe al tipo de trabajo que desempeñan y la responsabilidad inherente. En cuanto a la edad, los empleados más viejos se jubilan después que los jóvenes, debido a que éstos cumplen los años laborados para jubilarse con tasa de remplazo del 100%, porcentaje que sería inferior para quienes lo hacen a menores edades. Con más jubilados, quienes viven un número mayor de años, se produce una carga financiera significativa sobre el sistema de pensiones de la UASLP, lo que hace imperiosa su revisión periódica y la búsqueda de opciones que incentiven la permanencia en el empleo de los trabajadores, siendo una buena opción la jubilación flexible.AbstractThe present study explores the retirement pattern of Autonomous University of San Luis Potosi (UASLP) employees, taking into account variables such as employee age, worked years, labor category, genre and the UASLP retirement system. The analyzed information shows that the retirement pattern has changed in the latter years, as the number of retired teachers increased. There are differences in the time of retirement upon the labor category and the age. The service employees retire earlier and the staff members do it later, due to the type of work they do and the inherent responsibility. Regarding the age, older employees retire later, since the younger ones complete earlier the required time of work, attaining thus the replacement ratio of 100%, % different from those who retire at younger ages. With a greater number of retirees living more years, a significant financial charge over UASLP retirement system is produced, which makes imperative its periodical revision and the search for alternatives that cause employees to stay longer in their jobs, being the flexible retirement a good option.
