“…Precisamente, la evaluación de competencias transversales (soft-skills), es un tema actual en docencia universitaria puesto que, por un lado, existe una demanda explícita de la sociedad para tener profesionales formados, además de en competencias específicas, en competencias transversales (Ayhan & Oztemel, 2014;Katou, 2008;Marin-Garcia et al, 2014;Marin-Garcia et al, 2017;Marin-Garcia et al, 2009;Marin-Garcia & Martinez Tomas, 2016;Martínez Gómez et al, 2016;Pujol-Jover et al, 2015;Santandreu-Mascarell et al, 2011;Williams & Figueiredo, 2014). Por otro lado, resulta extremadamente complicado medir las competencias transversales por parte de los profesores o mandos, sobre todo ante grupos numerosos de estudiantes o subordinados (Ayhan & Oztemel, 2014;Halfhill & Nielsen, 2007;Medina-López et al, 2011;Ramirez Bayarri et al, 2016). Por ello, a veces es necesario plantearse la posibilidad de que sean los propios evaluados los que se auto-evalúen esas competencias transversales (Anthony & Garner, 2016;Butter & van Beest, 2017;Marin-Garcia et al, 2017;Ramirez Bayarri et al, 2016;Watts et al, 2012).…”

Sin embargo no hay una respuesta concluyente acerca de si, en general, los alumnos o los profesionales pueden ser unos buenos evaluadores de sus propias competencias o habilidades (De Grez et al, 2012;Diez et al, 2013;García-Ros, 2011;Gopinath, 1999;Jonsson & Svingby, 2007;Leach, 2010;Marin-Garcia & Santandreu-Mascarell, 2015;Stefani, 1994).…”

Research in business organization in general and talent management (in university or professional students) uses in many cases self-administered questionnaires as a source of data to assess people's competencies. In clinical psychology, it has been shown that self-evaluations of behaviors may present a bias of social desirability. However, even in this field of research it is not usual to measure its effect when taking data. Our work proposes a protocol to find a set of scales of social desirability (SD) with less than 20 items that are valid and reliable. We also intend to identify if SD scales are associated with the self-assessments of some transversal competences. <div>[Protocolo: revisión de literatura sobre las propiedades psicométricas de las versiones cortas de las escalas de deseabilidad social en las respuestas a cuestionarios de autoevaluación de competenciasResumen</div>La investigación en organización de empresas en general y la gestión del talento (en alumnos universitarios o profesionales) usa en muchos casos los cuestionarios auto-administrados como fuente de datos para evaluar las competencias de las personas.

“…After analyzing the innovation competence models found in the literature, we created a new model that complements and extends the existing ones (Figure 1), which includes the information available in published models, and defines competence innovation as: Ability to create, introduce, adapt and/or apply beneficial novelty at any organizational level (Kleysen & Street;Marin-Garcia, Ramirez Bayarri, & Andreu Andrés, 2015;Ramirez Bayarri et al, 2016;Scott & Bruce;West & Farr). Innovation is the introduction of a novelty (an idea, a method, a device, an invention, a process) or the improvement of something that already exists that must be useful to people or organizations as added value to meet their needs.…”

“…In order to improve organizational or group performance, innovation begins with generating ideas and finishes with implementing and using them (Marin-Garcia, Aragonés Beltran, & Melón, 2014;Marin-Garcia, Perez-Peñalver, & Watts, 2013;Perello-Marin, Marin-Garcia, & MarcosCuevas, 2013;Ramirez Bayarri, Marin-Garcia, & Atares-Huerta, 2016). …”

In this article we propose a model of innovation competence of people, based on the existing literature to integrate and complement the existing models. The main contribution of this work consists in demonstrating the differences and similarities of current models and in providing a conceptual definition for each model element. In this way, both researchers and people in charge of Human Resources in companies can obtain a framework to design measuring instruments to assess the innovation competence, whichcan fulfil the twofold demand requirement of validity and reliability.

This work presents an improvement of the structure and methodology of a subject entitled Management, belonging to the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering (ETSII) at the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). The presented subject deals with the basic and fundamental aspects that the student will need in order to correctly perform the functions of business management in changing and competitive markets and environments and contributes to the formation of professionals capable of carrying out management, direction and evaluation tasks in productive organizations. From the subject, the students' management skills are strengthened to elaborate and build strategic alternatives of decision, both in relation to the understanding of the problems, as well as in the decision making and in the evaluation of the consequences that the own actions can have for the company and for the people. It is centered on the improvement of professional skills. In this context, UPV transversal competences (TC), aim to synthesize a competence profile acquired by all UPV graduates. This study comes from an Institutional Educational Innovation and Improvement Projects to develop a methodological coordination through webs of support in ETSII CT (PIME/19-20/151). The main goal of this project was to make easier our students to acquire the more complex CTs-UPV with an effective model that does not place an additional burden on instructors, providing students with e-learning resources such as support for their training. This study is focused in CT04.-Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship. Innovation is shown as a key competence for companies to remain competitive in the market. Innovation is based on creativity, knowledge and organization, understood as a way of working to achieve objectives. A new trend in higher education is the current shift towards improving innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship of students. To work on these skills, students of Management have to do different exercises in groups where there are 4 to 6 randomly selected students with different roles. Each working group will start by creating a company, on which the different tools and methodologies will be developed through practical cases to achieve innovative and creative solutions that add value to the main stakeholders. The achievement of the proposed techniques for developing Innovation, Creativity and Entrepreneurship competency has been revealed as a significant aspect for the students, and the web CTs-UPV designed on the project (https://ctetsii.blogs.upv.es) has been considered as a strong support for their achievement.
