Previous issue date: 2010-09-10 / Self-efficacy, the construct developed by Albert Bandura in 1977 and widely studied around
the world, means the individual's belief in his own capacity to successfully perform a certain
activity. This study aims to determine the degree of association between sociodemographic
characteristics and professional training to the levels of Self-Efficacy at Work (SEW) of the
Administrative Assistants in a federal university. This is a descriptive research submitted to
and approved by the Ethics Committee of UFRN. The method of data analysis, in quantitative
nature, was accomplished with the aid of the statistical programs R and Minitab. The
instrument used in research was a sociodemographic data questionnaire, variables of
professional training and the General Perception of Self-efficacy Scale (GPSES), applied to
the sample by 289 Assistants in Administration. Statistical techniques for data analysis were
descriptive statistics, cluster analysis, reliability test (Cronbach's alpha), and test of
significance (Pearson). Results show a sociodemographic profile of Assistants in
Administration of UFRN with well-distributed characteristics, with 48.4% men and 51.6%
female; 59.9% of them were aged over 40 years, married (49.3%), color or race white (58%)
and Catholics (67.8%); families are composed of up to four people (75.8%) with children
(59.4%) of all age groups; the occupation of the mothers of these professionals is mostly
housewives (51.6%) with high school education up to parents (72%) and mothers (75.8%).
Assistants in Administration have high levels of professional training, most of them composed
two groups of servers: the former, recently hired public servants (30.7%) and another with
long service (59%), the majority enter young in career and it stays until retirement, 72.4% of
these professionals have training above the minimum requirement for the job. The analysis of
SEW levels shows medium to high levels for 72% of assistants in administration; low SEWclassified
people have shown a high average of 2.7, considered close to the overall mean
presented in other studies, which is 2.9. The cluster analysis has allowed us to say that the
characteristics of the three groups (Low, Medium and High SEW) are similar and can be
found in the three levels of SEW representatives with all the characteristics investigated. The
results indicate no association between the sociodemographic variables and professional
training to the levels of self-efficacy at work of Assistants in Administration of UFRN, except
for the variable color or race. However, due to the small number of people who declared
themselves in color or black race (4% of the sample), this result can be interpreted as mere
coincidence or the black people addressed in this study have provided a sense of efficacy
higher than white and brown ones. The study has corroborated other studies and highlighted
the subjectivity of the self-efficacy construct. They are needed more researches, especially
with public servants for the continuity and expansion of studies on the subject, making it
possible to compare and confirm the results / A autoefic?cia, construto desenvolvido por Albert Bandura desde 1977 e amplamente
estudado no mundo todo, significa a cren?a do indiv?duo nas pr?prias capacidades de realizar
com ?xito determinada atividade. O presente estudo tem por objetivo verificar o grau de
associa??o entre as caracter?sticas sociodemogr?ficas e de capacita??o profissional com os
n?veis de Autoefic?cia no Trabalho (AET) dos Assistentes em Administra??o de uma
universidade federal. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, submetida e aprovada pelo Comit?
de ?tica em Pesquisa da UFRN. O m?todo de an?lise de dados, de natureza quantitativa, foi
efetivado com o aux?lio dos programas estat?sticos R e Minitab. O instrumento utilizado na
investiga??o foi o question?rio de dados sociodemogr?ficos, vari?veis de capacita??o
profissional e a Escala de Autoefic?cia Geral Percebida (EAEGP) aplicado ? amostra
constitu?da por 289 Assistentes em Administra??o. As t?cnicas estat?sticas para a an?lise dos
dados foram estat?stica descritiva, an?lise de agrupamentos, teste de confiabilidade (Alfa de
Cronbach), teste de signific?ncia (Pearson). Os resultados mostram um perfil
sociodemogr?fico dos Assistentes em Administra??o da UFRN com caracter?sticas bem
distribu?das, sendo 48,4% homens e 51,6% mulheres; 59,9% deles t?m idade acima de 40
anos, casados (49,3%), de cor ou ra?a branca (58%) e religi?o cat?lica (67,8%); as fam?lias
s?o compostas por at? quatro pessoas (75,8%), com filhos (59,4%) de todas as faixas et?rias; a
ocupa??o das m?es destes profissionais ? na maioria do lar (51,6%), com escolaridade at?
ensino m?dio completo para pais (72%) e m?es (75,8%). Os Assistentes em Administra??o
apresentam n?veis de capacita??o profissional elevados; a maior parte deles comp?e dois
grupos de servidores: o primeiro, com servidores contratados recentemente (30,7%) e outro
com longo tempo de servi?o (59%); a maioria entra jovem na carreira e nela permanece at? a
aposentadoria; 72,4% destes profissionais t?m forma??o acima do requisito m?nimo para o
cargo. A an?lise dos n?veis de AET mostra n?veis M?dios e Altos para 72% dos Assistentes
em Administra??o; as pessoas, classificadas com Baixa AET, apresentam uma AET m?dia de
2,7, considerada pr?xima ? m?dia geral, apresentada em outros estudos, que ? de 2,9. A
an?lise de agrupamentos permite dizer que as caracter?sticas dos tr?s grupos (Baixa, M?dia e
Alta AET) s?o semelhantes, podendo ser encontrados nos tr?s n?veis de AET representantes
com todas as caracter?sticas investigadas. Os resultados indicam que n?o h? associa??o entre
as vari?veis sociodemogr?ficas e de capacita??o profissional com os n?veis de autoefic?cia
no trabalho dos Assistentes em Administra??o da UFRN, exceto em rela??o ? vari?vel cor ou
ra?a. Contudo, em fun??o do n?mero reduzido de pessoas que se autodeclararam de cor ou
ra?a preta (4% da amostra), esse resultado pode ser interpretado como mera casualidade ou as
pessoas pretas abordadas no presente estudo apresentam um senso de efic?cia mais elevado do
que brancos e pardos. O estudo corrobora outros estudos e evidencia a subjetividade do
construto autoefic?cia. Mais pesquisas s?o necess?rias, principalmente com servidores, para a
continuidade e amplia??o dos estudos sobre o tema, o que possibilitar? comparar e confirmar
os resultados

One thousand thirty-five participants were tested in laboratory in order to detect HIV or other sexually transmitted infection (STI) antibodies between 1999 and 2000. The results showedthat: (a) most of them attended for the first time the Health Information Center; (b) the Elisa test was the most frequently used; (e) the majority were women, and (d) their age range was from 15 to 44 years old. With regard to risk behaviors, the sexual ones were the most frequent;in relation to addictive behaviors, drug consumption by intravenous way and alcohol use were the most frequent ones. Significan! correlation, confirmed by Kolmogrov-Smirnov test, were found among the sociodemographic variables. When analyzing sexual behavior alone and with alcohol consumption, a significant correlation was found in risk behaviors compared to the other variables. / Se evaluó a 1435 participantes con una prueba de laboratorio para detectar anticuerpos al VIH u otras infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITSs) entre 1999 y el 2000. Los resultados mostraron que (a) la mayoría acudió al Centro de Información para la Salud por primera vez; (b) La prueba de Elisa fue la más frecuentemente usada; (e) la mayoría de participantes son del género femenino y (d) el rango de edad está entre los 15 y 44 años. En relación con las conductas de riesgo, las del tipo sexual fueron las de mayor frecuencia; entre las adictivas, las del consumo de droga por vía intravenosa y alcohol fueron las más frecuentes. Correlaciones significativas, confirmadas con la prueba de bondad de ajuste Kolmogrov-Smirnov, fueron halladas entre las variables sociodemográficas.Al analizar la dimensión sexual sola y con droga intravenosa hubo una correlación significativa de la variable conductas de riesgo frente al resto de variables.

Estudio y análisis de los perfiles de consumidores que se encuentren en un rango de edad entre 25-35 años , de un nivel socioeconómico B y que consuman en los supermercados modernos (Autoservicios) / Study and analysis of the purchase profiles of users of the modern channel (Self-Service) from 25 to 35 years of age of NSE B belonging to metropolitan LimaSanchez Valqui, Luis Renato 24 August 2020 (has links)
Los perfiles de compra en los canales modernos tienen muchas implicancias que forman parte de la forma de compra en un establecimiento. Estas implicancias están muy relacionadas a la elección de compra final de un producto o categoría, lo cual se vuelve un patrón repetitivo que es materia final de investigación. Por esta razón fue necesario considerar variables de investigación que pueda formar parte de este patrón y que pueden actuar como principales generadores de elección de comprar para determinar perfiles en los autoservicios. Estas variables son la decisión de compra, la cual explica las formas en la que un consumidor puede elegir un producto, luego se encuentra el precio como un factor esencial en la decisión de una categoría para un perfil de compra, después, está la percepción de calidad de un producto que puede ser un concepto amplio y diferente para cada perfil y por último, se encuentra variables sociodemográficas como el género, la edad y la ubicación, los cuales forman el esquema de formación de los perfiles de compra en el autoservicio. / Purchasing profiles in modern channels have many implications that are part of the way people buy in a store. These implications are closely related to the final purchase choice of a product or category, which becomes a repetitive pattern that is the final matter of research. For this reason it was necessary to consider research variables that may be part of this pattern and that may act as the main generators of choice of purchase to determine profiles in self-service stores. These variables are the purchase decision, which explains the ways in which a consumer can choose a product, then there is the price as an essential factor in the decision of a category for a purchase profile, then there is the perception of quality of a product that can be a broad and different concept for each profile and finally, there are sociodemographic variables such as gender, age and location, which form the scheme of formation of purchase profiles in self-service. / Trabajo de investigación
