El artículo tiene el objetivo de analizar la tendencia en la formación en disciplinas académicas de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas de mujeres latinoamericanas. Para ello, se considera el efecto de su inclusión educativa en el desarrollo de la región y la reducción de la brecha de género. Propone una reflexión a partir de reportes internacionales de desarrollo económico y humano para mostrar que la realidad de las mujeres en el desarrollo de este tipo de competencias sigue siendo desigual en comparación con los hombres. Aunque el presente artículo no consigue abordar factores culturales relacionados, sí arroja luz sobre la necesidad de afrontar la falta de inclusión educativa en estas áreas. Como conclusión, se determina que la adquisición de competencias en las disciplinas académicas de ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas resulta determinante para la reducción de la brecha de género en la región latinoamericana ante los requerimientos de la industria 4.0.
The articles objective is to demonstrate that a socially responsible consumer is interested of being informed about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices and is also willing to pay a higher price for a product made with CSR. Criteria of price as well as the interest of being informed about CSR practices were the two variables analyzed for the Chi-Square test. Even though CSR was declared as an important issue for the majority of participants, products made with CSR hasn’t achieved much influence in the buying decision making or in the need of being informed about the CSR practices. The need to create social consciousness for consumers to promote CSR practices through the buying decision making was also demonstrated.
Abstract:The research objective is to compare the differences in self-perception of organizational pride and loyalty between millennials and generation x, considering the variables of gender and seniority. The reason for this study is the importance of millennials' influence in the business sector, and the effect it is having in terms of turnover toward companies.The study was conducted on 432 employees working in a cluster of companies located in northeastern Mexico. For statistical purposes, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the different groups compared. Based on the findings, there is a generational difference in terms of organizational loyalty between male millennials and generation x males, when both have recently joined their respective organizations. The differences withdraw when both groups have stayed more than 3 years at their organization. On the other hand, there are no variances between millennial men and millennial women, independently if they just arrived to the organization or have more than 3 years tenure working for their company. This reaffirms the existing similarities amongst millennials, specifically in the way this generation thinks about organizational culture, where there is no gender distinction.
