Abstract
La investigación es fundamental en los programas de posgrado para el avance del conocimiento. Este estudio analiza la calidad de la función investigativa en los 6 programas de "Educación Comercial y Administración" de la Universidad Técnica de Manabí (UTM) durante 2022-2025. Mediante una encuesta aplicada a coordinadores, se identificó una heterogeneidad significativa en la calidad. La Maestría en Gestión del Talento Humano destacó con una estructura de investigación parcialmente consolidada (50%), mientras otros programas como Gestión Pública y Contabilidad presentaron carencias estructurales (0%). La producción científica cuantitativa fue insuficiente en la mayoría. El Análisis de Componentes Principales (ACP) identificó dos dimensiones principales: "Estructura y producción" (44,1% de varianza) y "Colaboración y difusión" (23,6% de varianza). Estos hallazgos evidencian la necesidad de estrategias focalizadas para fortalecer la estructura investigativa y fomentar la colaboración científica en los programas de administración de la UTM, alineando su desarrollo con estándares nacionales e internacionales de calidad y acreditación.

Through a survey applied to coordinators, significant heterogeneity was identified in quality. The Master's program in Human Talent Management stood out with a partially consolidated research structure (50%), while other programs such as Public Management and Accounting presented structural deficiencies (0%). Quantitative scientific production was insufficient in most. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified two main dimensions: "Structure and Production" (44.1% variance) and "Collaboration and Dissemination" (23.6% variance). These findings highlight the need for targeted strategies to strengthen research structures and foster scientific collaboration in UTM's administration programs, aligning their development with national and international standards of quality and accreditation
