El objetivo de esta investigación es presentar una revisión documental sobre el método multivariante de segunda generación denominado modelación de ecuaciones estructurales con mínimos cuadrados parciales (PLS-SEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Este método está teniendo gran aceptación en la comunidad científica en el área de ciencias sociales por tener un enfoque alternativo, robusto y más flexible al tradicional. En el presente estudio se inicia con aspectos básicos metodológicos de la técnica, a través de datos empíricos, y se evalúa un modelo de investigación con la finalidad de que el lector pueda observar valores de los modelos de medida, del modelo estructural y de la evaluación global del modelo.Su originalidad y valor permite conocer el uso de la técnica y las directrices para su aplicación y la interpretación de sus resultados mediante el uso del software SmartPLS.

In recent years educational institutions are increasingly using online learning and because of this trend it is necessary to investigate its impact on student academic performance. Although this topic has been addressed in different educational fields before, there is an objective justification for our approach. Thus, the reasoning behind this particular research is the fact that recent findings have shown that the academic performance of students using online education is affected by a series of motivating factors which can have an impact on their performance. The main goal of this paper is to highlight and analyze the mediating effect of intrinsic student motivation and student academic engagement and how they affect the relationship between the range of support, which students receive during their online learning and thus their academic performance. This study was conducted in two higher educational institutions in Mexico and Romania, with a sample of 822 students. The data was analyzed using a second generational PLS-SEM technique. The results confirm that the support students enjoy during online learning has no direct impact on their academic performance, unless it is fully mediated by their own intrinsic motivation and academic engagement. The influence of Gender was also analyzed, but it was not found to be a determining factor of academic performance in both higher educational institutions. These findings not only have theoretical and practical implications for students, teachers and education authorities, they also help us to broaden the field of knowledge in the e-learning environment.

In this research, we aim to examine the moderating effect of environmental commitment on the relationships between organizational compliance culture and green culture on environmental behavior, under the theoretical stream of the Resource Based Theory (RBT) of the firm, and the Value-Belief-Norm theory (VBN). The research used a quantitative research approach, with a non-experimental transactional design. The sample consisted of 148 Mexican companies with a corporate value system that has implemented environmental sustainability practices, most of them incorporating the GRI guidelines, the SDGs and the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact into their strategies, policies, procedures, and initiatives. This study contributes to the literature in the field of environmental sustainability, with a first theoretical PLS-SEM model that studies moderating and control variables, through organizational compliance on environmental behavior. Our proposed PLS model is a complex hierarchical component model that brings together and simultaneously maps a higher-order construct combined with three lower-order constructs, with moderation effects, multi-group analysis and predictive performance assessment. The major research findings are both the positive impacts between the proposed higher-order construct, organizational compliance culture, and green culture, on environmental behavior, and the moderating effect of environmental commitment on the relationship between green culture and environmental behavior. The insights obtained enhance the understanding of the factors that determine the environmental behavior through organizational compliance culture and green culture, with the moderating effect of environmental commitment, and help senior management in making strategic decisions to align their environmental objectives in compliance with the 2030 agenda in the area of environmental sustainability. This study highlights the need for companies to strengthen the role of environmental commitment to improve the environmental sustainability and it mentions practical implications both for managers of organizations that are responsible for meeting the objectives of sustainable development, specifically in the environmental field, and for policymakers and authorities that guide environmental policies.

En los últimos años las competencias han cobrado importancia debido y es muy común que se hable de ellas en cualquier ámbito organizacional. Las competencias directivas son el conjunto de conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes observables que debe poseer un directivo que dirige las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES), las cuales le permitirán alcanzar el éxito en el desempeño de sus funciones en el contexto global. Las instituciones de educación superior establecen en sus planes y programas de estudio las competencias que debe desarrollar el estudiante; sin embargo, es importante partir de la premisa de que el directivo también debe adquirir las competencias que le permitan conducir a su organización hacia la eficacia y la eficiencia. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo proponer un modelo de competencias directivas en escenarios globales para los directivos de las IES, como resultado de una investigación documental basada en revisión de literatura y postulados de autores como Hellriegel, Jackson y Slocum , 2010; Puga y Martínez, 2008; y Whetten y Cameron, 2005.

El objetivo de este artículo científico es determinar si el género afecta la relación entre el desempeño organizacional y el conocimiento compartido en organizaciones del sector público. Con base en la revisión de literatura y mediante la Teoría de Recursos y capacidades, las hipótesis fueron formuladas. A través de un estudio transeccional, con diez organizaciones del sector público y mediante la percepción de 239 servidores públicos, las hipótesis fueron probadas. Un análisis de regresión lineal fue desarrollado. Los resultados confirman la importancia del género como una variable determinante en la administración y gestión de las organizaciones. Esta investigación también muestra que la gestión adecuada de recursos valiosos tales como el conocimiento, ayuda a generar estrategias (desempeño organizacional) que no tienen ningún costo para las organizaciones del sector público.
