Innovación y Compromiso: Estrategias Globales y Regionales para Mitigar el Absentismo en la Educación Superior en México y América Latina
Palabras clave:
absentismo, cultura organizacional, liderazgo, ies, estrategias de mitigación
Resumen
Este artículo de revisión analiza el absentismo en las instituciones de educación superior (IES) desde una perspectiva global y regional, enfocándose en la cultura organizacional, el liderazgo y las políticas institucionales. Se realizó una búsqueda sistemática de literatura en bases de datos académicas, incluyendo estudios publicados en los últimos 10 años. Los hallazgos indican que en países como Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y naciones escandinavas, la implementación de políticas de equilibrio entre vida laboral y personal, junto con modelos de liderazgo transformacional y programas de desarrollo profesional, ha reducido significativamente las tasas de absentismo. En contraste, las IES en América Latina, especialmente en México, enfrentan desafíos adicionales debido a políticas institucionales débiles, ineficiencias burocráticas y estilos de liderazgo poco participativos, lo que ha incrementado el absentismo y afectado la eficiencia operativa. Este artículo propone un marco teórico-práctico basado en intervenciones dirigidas a fortalecer la cultura organizacional, mejorar la calidad del liderazgo y optimizar las políticas de asistencia. Se recomiendan programas de desarrollo de liderazgo, sistemas de incentivos y mecanismos de rendición de cuentas adaptados al contexto latinoamericano. Además, se identifican áreas para futuras investigaciones, como la evaluación longitudinal de estas intervenciones y la adaptación de modelos internacionales a realidades locales.
