| Abstract (English): | Introduction: Globalization and rapid technological advancement demand graduates with comprehensive competencies capable of applying knowledge, innovating, and adapting to dynamic work environments. Objective: To determine the correlation between instrumental competencies (X1), social and personal interaction competencies (X2), and integrative competencies (X3) among university students. Methodology: This was an exploratory, correlational--causal, quantitative, cross-sectional, and non-experimental study. A 15-item questionnaire was administered to 695 students enrolled during the August--December 2023 term. Data analysis was conducted using SMART-PLS and SPSS to assess reliability, validity, and correlations. Results: Positive correlations were found among all variable pairs: moderate between X1 and X3 (r = 0.582), and low between X1 and X2 (r = 0.328) and X2 and X3 (r = 0.395). Integrative competencies (X3) accounted for 38.5% of their variance when X1 and X2 served as independent variables, confirming the influence of technical and social skills on innovation and leadership capacity. Conclusions: The three competencies are significantly interrelated, and each contributes to the variance of the others, thus supporting the initial hypotheses. These findings highlight the importance of curricular strategies that foster technical, social, and integrative skills simultaneously to prepare competitive professionals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: La globalización y la aceleración tecnológica exigen egresados con competencias integrales capaces de aplicar conocimientos, innovar y adaptarse a entornos laborales dinámicos. Objetivo: Determinar la correlación entre las competencias instrumentales (X1), de interacción social y personales (X2) e integradoras (X3) en estudiantes universitarios. Metodología: Estudio exploratorio, correlacional-causal, cuantitativo, transversal y no experimental. Se aplicó un cuestionario de 15 ítems a 695 alumnos matriculados en agosto-diciembre 2023; los datos se analizaron con SMART-PLS y SPSS para verificar confiabilidad, validez y asociaciones. Resultados: Se hallaron correlaciones positivas entre cada par de variables: X1-X3 moderada (r = 0.582), X1-X2 baja (r = 0.328) y X2-X3 baja (r = 0.395). Las competencias integradoras explicaron 38.5 % de su varianza cuando X1 y X2 actuaron como predictores, confirmándose la influencia de las habilidades básicas y sociales sobre la capacidad de innovación y liderazgo. Conclusiones: Las tres competencias se relacionan significativamente y cada una contribuye a la varianza de las demás, respaldando las hipótesis iniciales. Estos hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de planes de estudio que desarrollen simultáneamente habilidades técnicas, sociales e integradoras para formar profesionales competitivos.

| Abstract (Portuguese): | Introdução: A globalização e a aceleração tecnológica exigem graduados com competências integrais capazes de aplicar o conhecimento, inovar e se adaptar a ambientes de trabalho dinâmicos. Objetivo: Determinar a correlação entre as competências instrumentais (X1), de interação social e pessoais (X2) e integrativas (X3) em estudantes universitários. Metodologia: estudo exploratório, correlacional-causal, quantitativo, transversal e não experimental. Um questionário de 15 itens foi aplicado a 695 alunos matriculados de agosto a dezembro de 2023; os dados foram analisados com SMARTPLS e SPSS para verificar a confiabilidade, a validade e as associações. Resultados: Foram encontradas correlações positivas entre cada par de variáveis: X1-X3 moderada (r = 0,582), X1-X2 baixa (r = 0,328) e X2-X3 baixa (r = 0,395). As competências integrativas explicaram 38,5% de sua variação quando X1 e X2 atuaram como preditores, confirmando a influência das habilidades básicas e interpessoais na capacidade de inovação e liderança. Conclusões: Todas as três competências estão significativamente relacionadas e cada uma contribui para a variação das outras, apoiando as hipóteses iniciais. Esses resultados destacam a necessidade de currículos que desenvolvam simultaneamente habilidades técnicas, sociais e integrativas para produzir profissionais competitivos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
