Modelo de producción de maíz con ecuaciones estructurales en Chicontepec Veracruz,
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
En este artículo se modela la producción de maíz en Chicontepec Veracruz con ecuaciones estructurales, a través de los factores que incidieron en el análisis de la literatura las cuales son: Organización, rendimiento, políticas de apoyo, costos de producción condiciones climáticos, y comercialización. El objetivo consistió en validar a través el software SPSS, 324 test contestados por los productores de maíz, así mismo se realizó el análisis factorial confirmatorio con el software científico LISREL para el análisis y modelación con ecuaciones estructurales o structural ecuation modeling (SEM), de acuerdo con (Littlewood & Bernal, 2014). Su originalidad radica en que después de obtener los resultados del estudio de campo se sometió a la validación de las variables en el software Lisrel con las técnicas estadísticas; análisis factorial confirmatorio y ecuaciones estructurales para obtener el modelo final. El método que se utilizó fue el enfoque hipotético deductivo y descriptivo. Los resultados de relevancia de hallazgos encontrados, es que de las seis variables independientes estudiadas, se validaron dos, rendimiento y producción, las variables; políticas de apoyo, costos de producción, condiciones climáticas, comercialización y organización no explican a la variable dependiente producción se concibe dos posibles situaciones; que la variable producción sea solamente explicada por la variable rendimiento debido a que es una variable que toma muchas dimensiones o que las demás variables requieran ser rediseñadas. Dentro de las limitaciones de la investigación el proceso de investigación de campo, no fue fácil obtener información de los productores dada a la desconfianza generada por ambientes políticos.
