Validación del instrumento de valores cristianos para la contratación de personal en empresas agrícolas, manufactureras y comercial de la zona 4 Ecuador. Un enfoque PLS-SEM

Introduction: In recent years, companies identify with having Christian values and many when hiring personnel ask questions about the values of honesty, solidarity, humility, responsibility and sincerity. The objective of this research aims to validate the Christian values instrument for recruiting personnel. Methodology: Multivariate statistics were used through confirmatory and exploratory structural equations for 183 companies in zone 4 of Ecuador (Santo Domingo de Los Tsáchilas and Manabí). Results: The results demonstrated excellent construct and content reliability overall. The Christian values component in personnel hiring reported acceptable factor loadings and a Cronbach's alpha reliability close to one. Discussion: The implementation of humanistic and Christian values component had factor loadings above 60 percent, with a Cronbach's Alpha reliability greater than 0.8. The prayer and society component showed factor loadings greater than 60 percent, with a Cronbach's alpha reliability greater than 0.75. Conclusions: The structural equation model has an acceptable fit error, the incremental fit coefficients are excellent, with acceptable parsimonious coefficients, an excellent Akaike criterion and a construct validity analysis that discriminates each component of the Christian values questionnaire.
