Abstract
Este estudio analizó el efecto de las habilidades blandas en la empleabilidad percibida de egresados peruanos de Administración. Se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo, transversal y no experimental, con análisis factorial exploratorio, confirmatorio y modelamiento de ecuaciones estructurales en una muestra de 243 participantes. El modelo estructural mostró índices de ajuste adecuados (CFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.045) y evidenció un efecto positivo y significativo (β = 0.47, p < 0.001) de las habilidades blandas sobre la empleabilidad percibida. Las dimensiones más influyentes fueron el desarrollo personal y la sensibilidad organizacional, lo que confirma su papel decisivo en la inserción laboral. Estos resultados aportan evidencia empírica para el contexto latinoamericano y resaltan que la integración de competencias socioemocionales en la formación universitaria es esencial para fortalecer la empleabilidad, la adaptación profesional y la proyección laboral de los egresados en entornos cada vez más competitivos y exigentes.
This study analyzed the effect of soft skills on the perceived employability of Peruvian graduates in Business Administration. A quantitative, cross-sectional, and non-experimental approach was applied, incorporating exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation modeling in a sample of 243 participants. The structural model showed adequate fit indices (CFI = 0.96; RMSEA = 0.045) and revealed a positive and significant effect (β = 0.47, p < 0.001) of soft skills on perceived employability. The most influential dimensions were personal development and organizational sensitivity, confirming their decisive role in labor market integration. These findings provide empirical evidence for the Latin American context and emphasize that integrating socio-emotional competencies into university education is essential to strengthen employability, professional adaptability, and the career projection of graduates in increasingly competitive and demanding work environments.
