Resumen
La presente investigación se llevó a cabo en el marco académico de la Universidad
Simón Bolívar, adscrita a la Facultad de Administración y Negocios, con el objetivo
de identificar y analizar los factores motivacionales que influyen en el desempeño
de los aprendices y practicantes durante su etapa productiva en una empresa líder
en la fabricación de empaques sostenibles, ubicada en la ciudad de Barranquilla,
Colombia. Este estudio parte de la necesidad de entender de qué manera los
factores motivacionales impactan en la experiencia laboral y el rendimiento de los
jóvenes en formación, quienes representan una fuerza de trabajo en proceso de
desarrollo y un recurso estratégico para el futuro de la organización. En el contexto
de esta empresa, los aprendices y practicantes que culminan su proceso productivo
participan en entrevistas de retiro que permiten a la organización recopilar
información sobre su experiencia, nivel de satisfacción y percepciones respecto al
ambiente laboral. A partir de estas entrevistas se ha detectado que una parte de los
participantes manifiestan no sentirse completamente satisfechos con su etapa
formativa, lo que ha generado inquietudes dentro del área de gestión del talento
humano. Esta situación plantea interrogantes importantes sobre las condiciones que
podrían estar incidiendo negativamente en el desempeño y la motivación de los
jóvenes durante su paso por la empresa. La motivación, entendida como un
conjunto de factores internos y externos que estimulan el interés y el compromiso
hacia una actividad, se ha convertido en un tema clave en la gestión del talento
humano, especialmente en lo que respecta a las nuevas generaciones que ingresan
al entorno laboral. Diversos estudios coinciden en que los niveles de motivación
influyen directamente en el desempeño, la productividad y la satisfacción laboral de
los empleados. En el caso de los aprendices y practicantes, estos factores pueden
ser aún más relevantes, ya que están en una etapa crucial de desarrollo profesional,
en la cual sus primeras experiencias laborales pueden moldear su visión del trabajo
y su compromiso con el crecimiento personal y organizacional. La metodología
empleada en esta investigación fue de tipo cuantitativo, con un enfoque deductivo.
Se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario estructurado con escala de Likert, el cual permitió
obtener datos objetivos sobre las percepciones de los aprendices y practicantes en
relación con diversos factores motivacionales.
This research was conducted within the academic framework of Simón Bolívar University, under the Faculty of Business and Administration, with the objective of identifying and analyzing the motivational factors that influence the performance of apprentices and interns during their productive stage in a leading company in the manufacturing of sustainable packaging, located in the city of Barranquilla, Colombia. This study arises from the need to understand how motivational elements impact the work experience and performance of young individuals in training, who represent a developing workforce and a strategic resource for the organization's future. In this company, apprentices and interns who complete their productive stage participate in exit interviews, allowing the organization to gather information about their experience, level of satisfaction, and perceptions regarding the work environment. These interviews have revealed that some participants express not feeling completely satisfied with their formative stage, raising concerns within the human talent management area. This situation presents important questions about the conditions that may be negatively affecting the performance and motivation of young people during their time in the company. Motivation, understood as a set of internal and external factors that stimulate interest and commitment to an activity, has become a key topic in human talent management, especially concerning the new generations entering the workforce. Various studies agree that motivation levels directly influence performance, productivity, and job satisfaction. In the case of apprentices and interns, these factors may be even more relevant, as they are at a crucial stage of professional development, in which their first work experiences can shape their view of work and their commitment to personal and organizational growth. The methodology used in this research was quantitative, with a deductive approach. A structured questionnaire with a Likert scale was designed and applied, which made it possible to obtain objective data on the perceptions of apprentices and interns regarding various motivational factors.
