Incidencia de los planes de carrera en el desempeño laboral de los colaboradores en una Industria Cartonera de la ciudad de Guayaquil.

Abstract

This thesis investigates the relationship between career plans and the work performance of employees in the cardboard industry of Guayaquil, highlighting how strategic management of human talent can strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of this crucial sector for the local economy. The theoretical framework of the research is supported by various theories of human resource management and job performance, such as the theories of Maslow, Vroom, and Locke, adapted to the context of the cardboard industry. The methodology used includes the analysis of variables such as job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and talent retention. A cross-sectional design was used to evaluate the impact of the implemented career plans, using statistical techniques such as linear regressions and structural equation models. The results of the analysis indicate that career plans have a positive impact on job performance, evidencing improvements in the motivation, commitment, and job satisfaction of employees. These findings are consistent with literature suggesting that career plans are crucial for aligning employee aspirations with company goals, thereby improving overall efficiency and productivity. It is recommended to focus on the need to design and implement career plans that not only satisfy the development aspirations of employees, but are also aligned with the company's strategic objectives to foster a work environment that promotes efficiency, commitment and job satisfaction.
