Factors associated with terminal efficiency in postgraduate courses in Mexico: case study of two administrative science programs
Abstract
The objective was to analyze the academic, work and personal factors of the graduates that affect the terminal efficiency of two postgraduate courses in administrative sciences from the University of Colima, Mexico. Using a logistic regression model, the causal relationships of terminal efficiency were estimated in a sample of one hundred and eighty postgraduate students distributed in six generations that comprise a period of fifteen years; from 2005 to 2020; organized in the causal model: academic profile, academic performance, work profile and sociodemographic profile. The findings suggest four determinants of terminal efficiency: gender, final average, master's degree profile, and graduation period. Thus, women graduate less than men; Students with better postgraduate averages are more likely to graduate and finally, the probability of graduating according to the work area from which the students come increases in the case of engineers with respect to the rest of the areas they graduate from. In this sense, this research allows us to contribute with information about the family factor, and other sociodemographic factors in the terminal efficiency of women. Which leads to take into account the various factors from the family environment to their academic development before entering the university. What results in an increase in competitiveness through productivity, efficiency in processes and costs, and with a focus on customer service, based on a flow of information.
