Introduction of the Labor Competencies Approach in Educational Institutions of Ecuador

The objective of this research is to design a model of continuous improvement for the management of human talent, with a focus on labor competencies, linking their core processes and contribute to raising the performance of teachers, improve the perception of students and their social environment and other global results in educational institutions in Ecuador, by the need to strengthen their development within the territory. A cluster analysis using Wards method, through the Euclidean distance squared, according to the characteristics of the scale used to evaluate the variables of the models is developed. Validation resulting cluster analysis was performed by comparing the results obtained in the processing of the same sample by the nonhierarchical method, obtaining the corresponding dendrogram. As part of the analysis of the potential variables involved in the multivariate construct competencies management, a procedure for analyzing variables consensus on participants in a theoretical model was used. The contributions are reflected in the theoretical model designed from the four latent variables identified for managing human talent based on labor competencies, generic competencies profile for teachers, diagnostic results on the current situation of the introduction of the approach, and instruments for calculating indicators, which reflect an improvement in the teachers perspective, highlighting the level of competencies and the level of competencies development, with a favorable impact on the global results of this institution. It has an added value that focuses on the proposed theoretical model itself, distinguished by the integration of the mainstream in the study of competencies and the design of a management system of human talent based on this approach, making use of systems approach, holistic and strategic direction; providing technically sound tools for competencies development.
