Disposiciones subjetivas a la precariedad en la academia en Chile: entusiasmo, mérito y asociatividad
No full textIndexación: Scopus.Over the last four decades, Chilean higher education reforms have impacted universities administrative and financial organization, with obvious repercussions for the academic workforce. Working conditions have become more precarious and the pressure for competition and productivity has intensified, according to research. The purpose of this article is to understand precariousness as an organizing axis of the academic work experience and its relationship with labor subjectivity. Based on the discursive analysis of 60 interviews with male and female academics in different working conditions, we describe academic staff dispositions concerning the uncertainty and instability of work in higher education. The main findings of this work point out that precariousness grids uncomfortable complicities with academic culture central aspects, such as vocation, meritocracy and excellence. At the same time, the analysis shows subjective dispositions and informal collective practices to manage uncertainty and generate stability in work teams. Through this work, we hope to contribute to understand the way higher education policies have transformed university, as well as the effects on the labor subjectivity of academics. © 2022 FahrenHouse.

Disposiciones subjetivas a la precariedad en la academia en Chile: entusiasmo, mérito y asociatividad

and productivity has intensified, according to research. The purpose of this article is to understand

subjectivity. Based on the discursive analysis of 60 interviews with male and female academics in
different working conditions, we describe academic staff dispositions concerning the uncertainty and

Las investigaciones en el área documentan que las condiciones de trabajo se han precarizado y la presión por la competencia y productividad se ha intensificado. Este artículo tiene como propósito comprender la precariedad como eje ordenador de la experiencia laboral académica y su relación con la subjetividad laboral. A partir del análisis discursivo a 60 entrevistas realizadas a académicos y académicas con diferentes condiciones laborales, se describen las diferentes disposiciones del personal académico en torno a la incertidumbre e inestabilidad del trabajo en la educación superior. Los principales hallazgos de este trabajo señalan que la precariedad entreteje incómodas complicidades con aspectos centrales de la cultura académica, tales como la vocación, la meritocracia y la excelencia. Además, el análisis da cuenta de disposiciones subjetivas y prácticas colectivas informales para manejar la incertidumbre y generar estabilidad en los equipos de trabajo. Mediante este trabajo esperamos contribuir a la comprensión de la transformación de la universidad y las políticas de educación superior, así como los efectos en la subjetividad laboral de académicos y académicas
Psychometric Properties of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) in the Chilean Child and Adolescent Population
No full textIntroduction: The Chilean child and adolescent population have serious mental health problems. Therefore, the ability to regulate emotions becomes a critical skill. Objective: This study aimed to estimate the psychometric properties of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24) in its abbreviated version in a Chilean child and adolescent population. Method: Cross-sectional validation was carried out on 636 Chilean children and adolescents. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed to examine the scale\u27s factor structure in this population. Results: Internal consistency showed robust results (α = 0.931; ω = 0.932) indicating high reliability. Using a Varimax rotation, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) identified three significant factors explaining 57.95% of the total variance. The results of the CFA suggested a good model fit with an RMSEA (0.061), CFI (0.934), and TLI (0.923). Parsimony indices indicated adequate fit PCFI (0.802) and PNFI (0.781). Convergent validity was also supported by significant correlations between the TMMS-24 dimensions and depression, anxiety, and stress factors measured with the DASS-21. Conclusion: These findings suggest that the TMMS-24 has adequate and validated psychometric properties, allowing its use as a reliable tool to assess the most relevant variables of emotional intelligence such as Emotional Attention (EA), Emotional Clarity (EC), and Emotional Regulation (ER) in Chilean children and adolescents in educational and mental health contexts.
