Abstract

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the perception of academics regarding administrative processes related to scientific research of the Catholic University of Santiago de Guayaquil (UCSG) in order to develop a management model proposal for administrative processes aimed to strengthen research and innovation in the institutes of research and innovation of the UCSG. The methodology began with the contextualization of theories, applied techniques, published articles, other similar works to support the research proposal. This research was non-experimental descriptive with a mixed approach. The study population was made up of the 104 academic researchers who are registered in the Research and Development Subsystem of the UCSG and the study sample was determined in 82 of these. For data collection, a survey demarcated by seven indicators was prepared. The questionnaire had 21 questions with questions and answers of Likert scale and closed yes / no questions with justification and selection questions. Because it was an elaborated and self-authored instrument, the respective validity and reliability were required. It was found that research and innovation institutes have administrative processes that, according to the analysis of the survey, should be strengthened. Also there is a need to develop a new management system for administrative processes for the research and innovation institutes of the UCSG.
