Abstract

Introduction: Emotional intelligence allows us to manage, regulate, and recognize our emotions and those of others, also allowing us to face and solve problems by choosing to provide an appropriate response to the situation experienced by a subject. Social skills are the behaviors that an individual emits in the interpersonal context through their feelings, rights, and opinions, seeking to resolve conflict situations immediately, minimizing the likelihood of experiencing them in the future. Anxiety appears in the individual when he perceives certain situations as threatening or dangerous, hindering his ability to provide an adequate response, being excessive, uncontrollable, or lasting, and this is classified as a mental disorder. Objective: The objective of this study is to describe the relationship between emotional intelligence, social skills, and anxiety. Methods: A quantitative methodology has been employed, basing the study on a systematic review of previous research using the Scopus, Scielo, Redalyc, and Google Scholar repositories. Findings: An initial sample of 1722 articles was obtained, which passed through inclusion and exclusion criteria, resulting in 73 articles. Novelty:The contribution of this study lies in understanding that low anxiety levels lead to better performance of emotional intelligence and social skills. This situation allows people to resolve conflicts that arise in the daily lives of individuals. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-06-025 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Generally, organizational climate research does not focus on the work environment because the mindset and emotions of employees are often mistaken for organizational culture. Additionally, surveys to evaluate the organizational climate tend to be long, and therefore, organizational climate studies are conducted only once a year—that too if an organization is concerned about its employees. This research proposes a methodology to evaluate organizational climate; the methodology has the following characteristics: it is a short evaluation named “pulse”; it is oriented toward specific elements of culture that influence the organizational climate and its variability; and it considers organizational contexts. The study was conducted in three organizations encompassing three sectors (N=3,331 employees). The survey included three questions regarding employees’ feelings and climate perception at the individual, group, and organizational levels. Additionally, it had 56 questions related to the elements of organizational culture, grouped into six components after an exploratory analysis: Structure, Recognition, Leadership, Accountability, Work Team, and Ethics. The results showed significant differences between organizations based on the organizational climate perception, its strength, and the behavior of the variables associated with the organizational culture that impacts the climate. Additionally, cultural elements were reduced because of their relationship with the organizational climate. This research suggests that organizational climate studies should be conducted for specific organizational contexts. Additionally, it proposes a methodology to reduce the duration of organizational climate studies by focusing on specific cultural dimensions associated with the climate, which can be applied longitudinally throughout the year to monitor climate changes. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-05-09 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Introduction: The use of online learning platforms has made a huge contribution to the online learning process. A key tool in this world is videoconferencing, which allows the efficient advancement of knowledge of a specific subject during synchronized timing. Objective: With this proposed context, the objective of this investigation is to determine which online video-conference platform has more benefits to be applied in Latin America. Method: A study was carried out with a quantitative method, transversal temporality, and a correlational and comparative process. There was a sample of 272 participants between 12 and 55 years old. Results and conclusion: It was found that the platform with the most benefits according to the analysis of gender, age, and profession is ZOOM. These results allow us to analyze the usefulness of this platform and its benefits in the learning process in Latin America. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-SIED-018 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Introduction: Negative beliefs, fear, avoidance behaviors, and superficial attitudes surrounding the learning of statistics create significant problems for university students in Latin America. Objective: To analyze the impact of fearful behavior, superficial work, and avoidance displayed by university students when it comes to statistics. Method: In this article, we give details about a quantitative research project carried out by two independent studies. The first (N = 310) focused on the development of a scale to assess negative beliefs, fears, and avoidance behaviors towards statistics, in which goodness of fit was determined in a 3-factor model. In the second study (N = 250), it was hypothesized that undergraduates perform superficially due to negative beliefs and avoidance behaviors when learning statistics. Findings: The proposed model explained 42% of the variance. In addition, in the analysis of the proposed mediation model, an adequate adjustment was found. In the discussion of this research project, the need to intervene in the negative beliefs, fears, and avoidance behaviors displayed by university students towards statistics is highlighted. Novelty:This research project explains why college students dislike or avoid learning statistics in depth. The findings will allow for a modification in the way statistics is taught so that Latin American professionals achieve better performance in this field. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-07 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Introduction: The self-management of university learning encompasses a series of aspects that allow students to be conscious and autonomous in their professional training. Objective: In this article, we present the process of creation and validation of a scale to assess essential factors of this phenomenon: self-management of learning, conscious motivation strategies for learning, perception of academic performance, and techniques for deep learning. Method: The design is a cross-sectional quantitative process with the purpose of carrying out validity and reliability analysis of a psychological measurement instrument. The research was conducted with 1373 university students from Chile and Ecuador. Results: The scale consists of 19 items that conform the four factors mentioned and whose results indicate adequate psychometric properties, allowing it to be applied in the Latin American context. Novelty:This research proposes a new instrument to assess the self-management of the university learning process, which contributes to carrying out new research in the university educational context. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-019 Full Text: PDF
