Abstract

Today’s generation has undoubtedly witnessed spectacular changes all over the world including the emergence of diseases, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome. Now, we are faced with an unprecedented crisis, brought on by coronavirus disease 2019, a worldwide pandemic that has shaken our economic and social equilibrium, bringing about a new set of parameters in personal as well as in social behavioral patterns, and ceding way to new strategies of political conduct and economic planning. In this article, we hope to stress the idea of innovation as a necessary instrument for economic viability and quite possibly an important factor for reconstruction in the aftermath of the pandemic. We propose that society will have to adopt certain tools and conducts to recover from the consequences of the crisis, making use of innovation as a strategy for the recovery and development of the economy that has been weakened from lockdown and social distancing. With this goal in mind, we hope to prove that a crisis, such as a pandemic, is cause for change and innovation at all levels.

Key words: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), economic viability, innovation, technology, pandemic aftermath

Coherently with this research focus, the present work aims to analyze the link between happiness of university students and their academic performance. For this intention, during the academic year 2018-2019, a sample was taken from students of technology, administration, accounting and international business from the universities of Cádiz (Spain) and the Autonomous of Baja California (Mexico). The results obtained by linear regressions are quite consistent with the scientific literature about the correlation between happiness and a better academic performance, both populations confirm this theory.

Resumen

El principal objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el grado de felicidad en los españoles y especialmente en los millennials. Concretamente, se contrastan las variables demográficas y socioeconómicas influyentes en los niveles de felicidad a través del análisis de los datos ofrecidos por los barómetros del Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas (CIS) en el 2017, con una muestra de 2 494 individuos. Entre las principales conclusiones destaca que la edad y el nivel de estudios no influyen en la felicidad de los millennials. Por el contrario, sí influye el género y la situación laboral. Las mujeres millennials son más felices que los hombres millennials, así como los millennials que trabajan.

Palabras clave: Felicidad, millennials, barómetro del CIS, variables socioeconómicas, variables demográficas.

Resumen

En  este  artículo  se  trata  el  tema  de  Responsabilidad  Social  Universitaria  (RSU)  como  parte  del proceso formativo de estudiantes universitarios y como elemento de competitividad en las empresas, al preparar a  los  estudiantes  durante  el  proceso de interacción  educativa  desde su perspectiva.  Se  llevó  a cabo  un  estudio cuantitativo  aplicando  537  cuestionarios  a  una  población  de  2620  estudiantes  de  licenciatura  en  la  Facultad  de Contaduría y Administración (FCA) de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (UABC). Se realizó el análisis de  confiabilidad  para  validar  el  instrumento  de  medición  y  se  procedió  a  realizar  un  estudio  de  varianza  y  de correlaciones entre las variables de estudio planteadas: Campus Responsable (CR), Gestión y Cuidado del Medio Ambiente  (GMA),  Formación  Profesional  Ciudadana  (FPC)  y  Participación  Social  Responsable  (PSR).  Los resultados  indican  elevados  niveles  de  Alpha  de  Cronbach  (CR=.829,  FPC=.875,  GMA=.825  y  PSR=.877), ANOVA con indicadores significativos y valores en el índice de correlación de .601 a .713 en Pearson y de .666 a .750 en Spearman, ambos significativos. Las variables de estudio se encuentran relacionadas entre sí y covarían. A  partir  de  los  resultados  obtenidos,  se  concluye  que  desde  la  perspectiva  de  los  estudiantes,  es  importante implementar  estrategias  educativas  de  la  RSE  en  los  programas  de  estudio  de  las  Universidades  e  incluir  su enfoque en el desarrollo de profesionales con alto valor agregado que al finalizar sus estudios se integren a las organizaciones y promuevan el desarrollo territorial.

Abstract

Competitiveness is a subject of study that affects different aspects of the individual and of the organizations. The demand that the modern environment towards the acquisition of skills, abilities and capacities impels diverse studies on the satisfaction that is obtained when trying to fulfill all the requirements in the process of development. In this research, we try to find a relation between competitiveness and the variables of happiness, welfare and education to validate the existence or significant influence among them. For these effects a correlation analysis and quantitative structural equations were used in a case study with a sample of 106 university graduates. The main findings indicate that happiness is a perception that can be presented as independent of competitiveness. In contrast, welfare and education have a more significant relationship among respondents.
