El objetivo de la presente investigación es comparar la autoestima, optimismo y satisfacción con la vida entre universitarios emprendedores y no emprendedores. Bajo este contexto, la psicología positiva podría ser una perspectiva emergente que permita la comprensión de los atributos que caracterizan al emprendedor universitario. Se empleó una metodología cuantitativa, descriptiva-comparativa y correlacional. Asimismo, se estudió a una muestra conformada por 539 estudiantes universitarios de México y Bolivia. Los resultados obtenidos, a través del empleo de ANOVA de un factor y regresión lineal, reflejaron que los emprendedores dentro del contexto universitario poseen valores más altos de autoestima y optimismo en comparación con estudiantes que no han emprendido. Se concluye que la psicología positiva puede ser una propuesta teórico-metodológica que puede favorecer la formación de futuros emprendedores de la región.
<strong>The aim of this research is to identify the relationship between absorptive capacities and the generation of innovation, as well as their level of influence in companies graduated from an incubator in the north of Mexico. Through a quantitative research, correlational with a non-experimental design, a sample of 100 companies was obtained. The hypotheses of the study were partially approved, finding that the entrepreneurs were able to acquire, assimilate and transform the process of absorptive capacity, generating incremental innovation which is an intangible asset with high value for organizations.</strong>
Intangible assets, especially knowledge and culture management, have been traditionally considered by various companies as valuable resources that can be used to generate a competitive advantage. However, it is unclear how these assets work handin-hand -and which type of culture is the most appropriate for the development of knowledge. This study aims to analyze whether or not both flexible and rigid cultures can be implemented by companies in order to promote the development and transfer of knowledge within an organization. A sample of 167 companies from Mexico and Bolivia was obtained, applying a quantitative and correlational investigation. Using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression, it was found that these variables are positive and significant, and that there is a moderate effect of the rigid organizational culture in the relationship between flexible culture and knowledge management. From a holistic perspective, both cultures -flexible and rigid -are necessary as a means to improve the development and transfer of knowledge among employees within an organization.Contribution/Originality: This paper analyzes the moderating effect of rigid culture on the relationship between flexible organizational culture and knowledge management in Bolivian and Mexican organizations, finding that rigidity plays an important role in the development of knowledge in countries where bureaucracy is the predominant organizational culture.
Behavioral economics has tried to explain the economic and financial decisions of the individuals. It has been used to understand the economic perceptions and attitudes of vulnerable groups; however, for indigenous peoples, especially in Latin America, there are unresolved issues. Thus, from an intercultural perspective, this research examines the association between the economic attitude and the perception of poverty through the comparison of a sample of intercultural college students from different ethnic groups in Mexico. For this reason, a quantitative, descriptive and correlational research was carried out with a non-experimental design from a sample of 207 intercultural college students. Two research questions were raised, the questions were tested by Pearson correlation and linear regression. Attribution theory was analyzed to assess the association between the economic attitude and the perception of poverty in intercultural students. It was found that the economic attitude is related to the perception of poverty, because the students presented attitudes of financial optimism oriented towards the structural causes of poverty. Consequently, the model of an intercultural university could benefit the development of indigenous communities, through a pedagogy oriented towards the creation of significant economic attitudes.
Objetivo: proponer un marco de revisión de la literatura sobre los programas de microcrédito para las mujeres y su efecto en la reducción de la pobreza, a partir de un análisis bibliométrico que muestre las relaciones y las tendencias de los conceptos microcrédito y autonomía económica de las mujeres. Metodología: descriptiva con diseño documental en la que se usan las herramientas del software VOSviewer sobre una base de datos de 434 documentos resultante de la búsqueda en la plataforma Scopus. Limitaciones: solo se consideró la base de datos Scopus para el periodo 1992-2021. Resultados: la mayoría de las investigaciones se enfocan en Asia (India y Bangladesh) y se publican principalmente en Estados Unidos. Mediante el análisis de coautorías, se identificaron los principales autores, instituciones y países. Del análisis de coocurrencias de palabras, se desprenden tres clústeres: microcrédito, desarrollo humano y desarrollo económico. Valor: la construcción de una base bibliográfica para estudios sobre microcréditos y autonomía económica. Conclusiones: los estudios más recientes sobre la eficacia del microcrédito para las mujeres muestran la necesidad de incluir, además de las económicas, otras dimensiones al evaluar estas políticas de apoyo, tales como las relaciones de poder, las asimetrías de género y el contexto sociocultural.
