Item type:Publication, Applying Classification Techniques in Machine Learning to Predict Job Satisfaction of University Professors: A Sociodemographic and Occupational Perspective(2024); ; Camila Alessandra Valarezo-Calero<jats:p>This article investigates the factors that affect the job satisfaction of university teachers for which 400 teachers from 4 institutions (public and private) in Ecuador were stratified, resulting in a total of 1600 data points collected through online forms. The research was of a cross-sectional design and quantitative and used machine learning techniques of classification and prediction to analyze variables such as ethnic identity, field of knowledge, gender, number of children, job burnout, perceived stress, and occupational risk. The results indicate that the best classification model is neural networks with a precision of 0.7304; the most significant variables for predicting the job satisfaction of university teachers are: the number of children they have, scores related to perceived stress, professional risk, and burnout, province of the university at which the university teacher surveyed works, and city where the teacher works. This is in contrast to marital status, which does not contribute to its prediction. These findings highlight the need for inclusive policies and effective strategies to improve teacher well-being in the university academic environment.</jats:p>25 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Impact of Social Networking Use in Youth and the Relationship of Mood StatesThis research has focused on identifying the levels of aggression and irritability observed in a group of young participants due to the use of social networks. Since their beginnings, social networks have captured the attention of several users, with the youngest being those who use them most frequently. This excessive use has generated changes in the habitual behavior of young people and has caused the content they observe to affect their moods significantly. This research carried out with 45 participants shows that although the levels of irritability and aggression are located at low and average levels, it can also be observed that the more time they spend on these networks, the more aggression and irritability increase.36 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The emotional cost of service: a comparison between health and education professionals(2025); Daphne S. Narváez-AlmeidaThere is an emotional toll on healthcare workers and also on educators, who experience stress and trauma in their daily work. The objective of this study is to compare the manifestation of Compassion Fatigue and Compassion Satisfaction in these two groups. To measure this emotional toll, the PROQoL IV test was administered. The results showed that while both groups experience greater Compassion Fatigue the longer they have been in their profession, it is educators who show a deeper burnout. It is suggested that future tools be developed to enable teachers to manage these situations effectively without compromising their quality of life. © 2025 IEEE.13 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Digital justice in shaping judicial impartiality through cognitive biases(2025); Anthony Gaon-CajamarcaIntroduction. Digital justice integrates technological tools into judicial processes, thereby improving efficiency and access to justice. However, it also introduces significant challenges related to cognitive biases and judicial impartiality in virtual hearings. Objective. This study aimed to analyze the impact of virtual hearings on procedural rights and judicial impartiality in Ecuador. Materials and methods. A sample of 1,020 first-instance judicial rulings from Quito in 2023 was selected, focusing on constitutional protection actions. Aspects such as the resolution time of cases and the frequency of virtual or hybrid hearings were analyzed and compared to outcomes in second-instance appeals. Results. The findings indicated that virtual hearings increased the average resolution time compared to in-person hearings and led to a rise in cognitive biases due to technological limitations. Conclusions. While digital justice enhances efficiency, it also introduces risks of bias that may affect judicial impartiality. The absence of non-verbal cues and reliance on technology restrict a comprehensive assessment of the parties, particularly impacting vulnerable individuals in virtual hearings.11 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Family functioning and social network addiction in college students of the city of QuitoThis research aims to analyze the relationship between family functioning and social network addiction in college students in the city of Quito. The research design is nonexperimental cross-sectional, with a quantitative method and a descriptive - correlative scope. Two data collection instruments are used: 1. Social Networks Addiction Questionnaire (ARS) and 2. Family Functioning Perception Questionnaire (FF-SIL). The sample consisted of 274 college students from the city of Quito. The results were 50% of moderately functional families, in addition to a higher prevalence of students with an 'obsession to be informed' and a 'need/obsession to be connected' with 51.8% and 42.3% respectively. Likewise, there is a statistically significant correlation, directly proportional between family functioning and the 'problem' dimension of social networks addiction.40 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Work Environment and its Influence on Organizational Commitment: A Study in the Financial Sector(2025); ; ; Diego Escobar-BermudesThis study examines the relationship between work climate and organizational commitment within a financial institution using a cross-sectional quantitative approach. A total of 200 administrative staff members participated, selected through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using validated instruments: the CL-SPC Work Climate Scale and the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, ensuring robust reliability and validity. Results indicate that specific dimensions of the work climate, such as autonomy, equity, and transparency, are significantly associated with employee engagement and organizational loyalty. Notably, gender differences were observed, with women reporting higher levels of affective commitment compared to men. This research contributes to the literature by addressing these demographic disparities and proposing actionable interventions tailored to enhance workplace dynamics in the financial sector. Practical recommendations emphasize strategies to improve autonomy and transparency while fostering equity to strengthen organizational commitment. These findings provide valuable insights for managers and decision-makers aiming to create inclusive and supportive work environments.43 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Virtual learning environments as an alternative in the teaching of critical medicine(2022); The general objective of this research work was to determine the feasibility of incorporating EVA as a didactic alternative in the teaching of critical medicine in postgraduate students. The research paradigm was of a propositive critical type with a mixed descriptive, explanatory, and correlational approach. The study population was selected through an intentional sampling for convenience and was made up of 90 students and 23 teachers of the postgraduate degree in Critical Medicine from two private universities in Ecuador. The research instruments used were two multiple-choice surveys with a single response on a Likert scale that, prior to their application, were validated and are reliable. The results obtained made it possible to determine the feasibility of incorporating EVAs in the academic training of critical medicine postgraduate students, thus also allowing the reduction of hospital absence times due to the academic training received virtually. © 2022, Associacao Iberica de Sistemas e Tecnologias de Informacao.

Item type:Publication, Unraveling Psycholaboral Risk Factors: Ordinal Prediction of Teacher Well-Being in University Institutions in EcuadorThis article investigates the factors that affect the job satisfaction of university teachers for which 400 teachers from 4 institutions (public and private) were stratifiedly selected, resulting in a total of 1600 data collected through online forms. The research was of cross-sectional design and quantitative type using an ordinal logistic regression model, analyzing variables such as ethnic identity, field of knowledge, gender, number of children, job burnout, perceived stress and occupational risk. The results indicate that teachers belonging to ethnic groups such as Ethnicity White, Mestizo and Montubio have higher job satisfaction probabilities of 96.7%, 92.3% and 115.3%, respectively. In addition, teachers in Humanities and Communication and Information Sciences report higher job satisfaction, with increases of 53.7% and 55.6%. In contrast, those who identify as “Other” in terms of gender experience a 21.2% decrease in satisfaction. Each additional child is associated with a 21.2% decrease in job satisfaction, while an increase in Work-Related Burnout, Perceived Stress, and Occupational Risk is associated with decreases of 27.3%, 16.2%, and 31.4%, respectively. These findings highlight the need for inclusive policies and effective strategies to improve teacher well-being in the academic university environment41
