Leadership oriented to the job expectations of financial engineering students

Abstract

This scientific article is a ponderable investigation that begins with the research question: What are the types of leadership that significantly influence the job expectations of the students of the Financial Engineering career at the Universidad Mayor de San Simón in the 2023 term? The general objective was: to determine the types of leadership that influence the improvement of leadership oriented to the labor expectations of the Financial Engineering university students of the Universidad Mayor de San Simón, in the 2023 term. The methodological design contemplated the positivist paradigm, with a quantitative approach, the type of research was explanatory. A non-experimental cross-sectional design was used, the research methods used were induction, deduction, analysis, synthesis and modeling. The research technique was the survey and the instrument the questionnaire. We worked with a non-probabilistic sample of 900 students, content validity was determined by expert judgment, reliability validity by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, and construct validity by applying confirmatory factor analysis. The theoretical hypotheses of the "Leadership model oriented to job expectations" significantly influence student leadership with a Comparative Fit Index (CFI) of .984, Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA) of .047. In the structural model, the explained variance of leadership oriented to job expectations reached .34, with an error of .66.
