Los microempresarios tienen una elevada participación en la actividad productiva de Ecuador, por ello es el sector de mayor presencia, sin embargo, el manejo desorganizado de sus negocios, y la escasa cultura organizacional, no les permiten fortalecer sus actividades para lograr mayor capitalización y mejores ingresos, catalogándolas en la mayoría de los casos como empresas de supervivencia. Es importante que conozcan y manejen de forma correcta sus competencias personales y laborales, vinculadas directamente al área empresarial. El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar las principales competencias, tanto personales como laborales, su relación de dependencia, y la influencia que tienen en el manejo de los negocios y el rendimiento de los mismos. Para el efecto se realizó encuestas a micro empresarios de la provincia del Guayas, utilizando un cuestionario adaptado del Manual Técnico Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI), para establecer el nivel de conocimiento que tienen sobre sus competencias. Con la información recabada se las interrelacionó y determinó el grado de dependencia entre ellas. Los resultados mostraron las competencias de mayor y menor incidencia en sus negocios, se analizó las principales razones que dan lugar al manejo que actualmente realizan, y establecieron algunas propuestas de mejora para un correcto aprovechamiento de ellas.
ABSTRACT
The microentrepreneurs have a high participation in the productive activity of Ecuador, therefore it is the sector of greater presence; however, the disorganized management of their businesses, and the poor organizational culture, do not allow them to strengthen their activities to achieve greater capitalization and better income. These businesses are cataloged in most cases as companies for survive. It is important that they know and manage correctly their personal and work skills, directly linked to the business area. The objective of this research is to determine the main competences, both personal and work, as long as their dependency relation, and the influence that they have in the management of the business and in their profitability. For this purpose, surveys were conducted on micro entrepreneurs in the province of Guayas, using a questionnaire which was adapted from the Technical Manual Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI), to establish the level of knowledge they have about their competencies. The information collected was interrelated and determined the degree of dependence between them. The results showed the competences of major and minor incidence in their businesses, analyzed the main reasons that give rise to the management that they currently carry out, and established some improvement proposals for the correct use of them.
