HAIDAR TORRES, Erik  and  TORRES ESTEVEZ, Gladys C.. The mechanistic management of Higher Education Institutions: a study from the systemic modeling. Contad. Adm [online]. 2015, vol.60, n.4, pp.796-816. ISSN 0186-1042.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cya.2014.05.001.

The bureaucratic tendencies to organize work in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) of which facilitates personnel control and the mechanical ways to measure educational content are the ones that shatter education in pieces, under the hierarchy criterion, also shattering the professor's labor. This organizational method results in an incompetent education, leaving very negative consequences for teaching development. We address this problem by using systemic modeling and Structural Equations Systems (SEM) to confirm hypotheses from scientific observation. It was proven that there was a negative impact of mechanistic management which affected teacher's development. This was proven in context in two HEIs located in Villahermosa (Tabasco, Mexico).
