Item type:Publication, Enhancing professional employability: The impact of Agile methodology training(International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), 2024-12-10)In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, Agile methodologies have emerged as a crucial approach for organizations to remain competitive and responsive to change. Despite the growing adoption of Agile frameworks, there is a lack of quantitative research examining the impact of Agile certifications on individual career trajectories. This study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the relationship between acquiring Agile certifications and career out-comes, specifically focusing on professionals from business administration (BA) and computer science (CS) backgrounds. Employing survival analysis (SA), particularly the Kaplan-Meier method, we assess the temporal dynamics of career advancement events, including job pro-motions, job transitions, and changes in job responsibilities. Our findings reveal that the most prevalent career advancement is promotion, occurring on average after 1,102.98 days, while the average time for observing at least one career effect is 733.37 days. The study also iden-tifies scrum master and product owner as the most sought-after Agile certifications. These results contribute to the understanding of how Agile methodologies influence career progres-sion and provide valuable insights for professionals, employers, and educational institutions navigating the dynamic landscape of Agile adoption. The findings underscore the importance of Agile certifications in fostering career growth and adaptation to the evolving demands of the industry. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Determinants of SMEs’ willingness to pay for electric vehicle logistics(Success Culture Press, 2024-01-01)Small and medium enterprises face logistic challenges that can impede their transition to sustainable practices. One of these challenges is the successful adoption of electric vehicles in their supply chains. Our study investigated factors influencing the willingness to pay for electric vehicle logistics services among small and medium enterprises in Latin American countries. A survey was administered to 302 SMEs from Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, spanning sectors like retail, tourism, and manufacturing. Ordered logistic regression analysis identified social trust, perceived risks, and prevailing attitudes as significant predictors of willingness to pay. Despite recognizing the overarching environmental and social benefits of electric vehicles, most small and medium enterprises exhibited reluctance to incur additional expenses for electric vehicle transport. The findings highlight the need for strategies to build trust, mitigate perceived risks, and encourage positive attitudes to spur greater adoption of sustainable transportation options.
