Venezuelan migrants in Peru and their entrepreneurial intention during the Covid-19 pandemic
Objective: The article aims to understand the influence of how attitude (ATT), the perception of country support (PCS) for entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship self-efficacy (ESE) support entrepreneurial intention (EI) among Venezuelan migrants living in Peru.
Research Design & Methods: In total, 305 migrants from Venezuela living in Peru completed the online questionnaire. It contained 21 items that evaluated the variables to explain the EI. In the study, we employed the
partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique.
Findings: We found that ATT (0.591) and PCS for entrepreneurship (0.204) showed a direct and significant influence on ESE, while ESE showed a direct and significant influence (0.823) on the EI. The research model explained
67.7% of the EI. The analysis using bootstrapping technique showed the significance of the path coefficients.
Implications & Recommendations: Current research showed the effect of ATT and PCS on ESE, which governments and organizations can use to create plans to promote entrepreneurship among migrants.
Contribution & Value Added: Governments can use the study results to develop and improve new regulations to encourage entrepreneurship. The novelty of this study is the use of the PLS-SEM technique.Campus Lima Centr
COVID-19, mental health and its relationship with workplace accidents
The general objective of this article is to show the relationship that exists in the COVID-19 pandemic, the mental health of people and the propensity for work-related accidents in companies. Various results are shown that detail how COVID-19 has generated and is generating mental alterations in people such as post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD for its acronym in English. Likewise, data are presented that report the influence of mental health as a precursor to workplace accidents in different industries, with which it can be concluded that COVID-19 needs a comprehensive approach in companies to prevent it from negatively impacting workers and they end up accident during their daily work. Some concrete actions are proposed to promote and avoid in companies so that workers can be better managed in times of a COVID-19 pandemic.Campus Lima Centr
ENGIU: Encuentro Nacional de Grupos de Investigación de UNIMINUTO.
El desarrollo del prototipo para el sistema de detección de Mina Antipersona
(MAP), inicia desde el semillero ADSSOF perteneciente al programa de Administración en Seguridad y Salud en el trabajo de la UNIMINUTO, se realiza a partir de un
detector de metales que emite una señal audible, que el usuario puede interpretar
como aviso de presencia de un objeto metálico, en este caso una MAP. La señal
audible se interpreta como un dato, como ese dato no es perceptible a 5 metros de
distancia, se implementa el transmisor de Frecuencia Modulada FM por la facilidad
de modulación y la escogencia de frecuencia de transmisión de acuerdo con las
normas y resolución del Ministerio de Comunicaciones; de manera que esta sea la
plataforma base para enviar los datos obtenidos a una frecuencia establecida. La
idea es que el ser humano no explore zonas peligrosas y buscar la forma de crear
un sistema que permita eliminar ese riesgo, por otro lado, buscar la facilidad de uso
de elementos ya disponibles en el mercado
