University students of Human Resources and their disposition towards numeric subjects

Abstract

The human resources area is known as the heart of organizations, since through this unit almost all administrative processes related to personnel can be managed to meet determined business objectives. At the university level, the degree at the University of Panama contains the Remuneration Administration chair, which is the process where compensation systems are managed and structured within an organization and has to do with the worker's salary policies and practices to ensure that they are compensated fairly and equitably for their work. With the objective of determining the context of university students in Human Resources at the University of Panama, and their disposition towards numerical subjects, an applied non-experimental study was developed, at a descriptive level, cross-sectional and with a qualitative approach, using the inductive method for the development of results. Using the survey technique, a questionnaire was applied to a group of students who had taken the Remuneration Administration course, with 23% of the interviewees being male and 77% female, where it was possible to verify that the willingness to learn exists, but the teaching strategies applied to teach groups numerical subjects must be adapted to the needs of the groups and must be appropriate to achieve learning that lasts.
