The COVID-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on the labor market. The psychological pressure and uncertainty caused by the current changing workplace environment have led to negative consequences for workers. Considering the predictive relationship between employee engagement and wellbeing and in light of this unprecedented situation that affects workers of all the industries worldwide, this study aims to identify the key main drivers of employee engagement that can lead to employee wellbeing in the current context. Through a literature review, a theoretical model to strengthen engagement in times of COVID-19 is proposed. The main factors are conciliation, cultivation, confidence, compensation, and communication. Whereas prior to the pandemic, firms had already understood the need to achieve this, it is now considered a vital tool for staff health and wellbeing. This article makes two main contributions. First, it provides a model for boosting employee engagement, and therefore, wellbeing. Second, managerial suggestions are made to apply the theoretical model.
Este estudio tiene como objetivo identificar el grado de concordancia entre las competencias que se demandan en la Industria 4.0 y las competencias que la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Madrid, España) establece en los itinerarios formativos del plan de estudio del grado de administración y dirección de empresas. La evolución de los puestos de trabajo y las competencias para la Industria 4.0 ha despertado el interés tanto de investigadores como de directivos de las empresas. Para desarrollar este estudio, se ha realizado una revisión de la literatura científica, además de la consulta de documentos internos de la propia universidad. Los resultados revelan divergencias entre las necesidades de la industria en términos de competencias y las adquiridas por los alumnos en su formación universitaria. Se concluye que se debe hacer una profunda reflexión para incorporar ciertas competencias técnicas, metodológicas y personales que son clave en el entorno actual de la Industria 4.0.
