Item type:Publication, Social Capital and Economic Growth: An Analysis in South America(2025); Ximena Morales-UrrutiaBackground Social capital has emerged as a key variable in explaining regional economic disparities, yet its multidimensional nature complicates measurement and policy design. In the South American context, characterized by institutional fragility and inequality, the impact of social capital on economic growth remains empirically ambiguous. Methods This study employs a quantitative methodology using panel data from 2007 to 2023 across nine South American countries. Data is sourced from the Legatum Prosperity Index, focusing on five elements of social capital: family relationships, social networks, interpersonal trust, social tolerance, and civic participation. Econometric analysis is conducted using instrumental variables and two-stage least squares models to address endogeneity. Results The econometric findings reveal heterogeneous effects among dimensions of social capital. Civic participation and family relationships exhibit a significant positive association with economic growth, while social tolerance and interpersonal trust show negative or inconsistent impacts. Notably, social networks instrumentalized in the model have a negative and significant relationship with growth, suggesting potential inefficiencies in their current form. The presence of endogeneity and multicollinearity among variables highlights the complexity of causality in this domain. Conclusions Social capital plays a critical, yet context-dependent, role in fostering economic development in South America. While some dimensions such as civic engagement promote inclusive growth, others may reinforce exclusion or inefficiencies depending on institutional quality and social structure. Policymakers should therefore target specific aspects of social capital, promoting civic participation and inclusive networks while addressing institutional weaknesses. Future research should explore longitudinal dynamics and the interaction of social capital with digitalization and labor market transformation.11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Burnout Levels in Telecommunications Service Companies(2025); Ximena Morales-UrrutiaOrganizations must implement various strategic measures to safeguard employee well-being, such as ensuring equitable workloads, providing adequate support and resources, fostering empathy, enabling effective communication, maintaining work-life balance, promoting professional development, cultivating a healthy organizational culture, and managing occupational stress. These measures are pivotal in mitigating burnout, a phenomenon increasingly recognized as a critical occupational health issue. Burnout, characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, poses significant risks to both individual employees and organizational performance. This study investigates burnout levels in telecommunications service companies, using the Maslach Burnout Inventory to assess 105 employees across multiple branches of a telecommunications company in Ecuador. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS software for descriptive characterization and correlational analysis of variables and dimensions. Findings indicate that depersonalization is the primary dimension affecting burnout in this sector, as employees often internalize customer-related issues, resulting in negative consequences for both the workforce and the organization.25 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The Impact of Digital Technologies on the Development of Linguistic Skills: A Focus on Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing(2025); Ximena Morales-UrrutiaThis study examines the relevance of active methodologies in enhancing linguistic and communicative competencies in Elementary General Education. The primary objective was to determine how these methodologies contribute to the development of the four essential macro-skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing, thereby promoting innovative and effective educational practices at Milton Jurado School. A quantitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach was adopted with a non-experimental design in a longitudinal context involving 35 students. The methodology included administering a pretest and posttest using a checklist for data collection. Concurrently, active methodologies were implemented to strengthen linguistic and communicative skills. The hypothesis posited that active methodologies contribute to the development of these competencies in Elementary Education. Data analysis and interpretation were based on the pretest and posttest results. To ensure result reliability, the Shapiro-Wilk normality test was applied, suitable for the study's sample size. Student t-test results demonstrated a significant improvement in student performance. The research concludes that active methodologies are effective in developing linguistic and communicative competencies. Findings indicate the need to explore innovative pedagogical approaches that enhance these skills, highlighting the importance of teacher support. This study provides significant insights for implementing active methodologies in education, emphasizing their efficacy in the comprehensive development of students in contemporary society18
