Palabras clave:
Empleabilidad; educación superior; gobernanza universitaria; análisis bibliométricoResumen
Objetivo: Analizar la evolución de la investigación científica sobre la empleabilidad, como pilar de la sostenibilidad en la educación universitaria, tal y como la perciben los estudiantes de educación superior durante lel periodo 2008-2023, con el fin de promover el desarrollo de carreras sostenibles en las instituciones de educación superior a través de una formación integral y el fortalecimiento de los recursos personales. Diseño/Metodología/Enfoque: Se trata de un análisis bibliométrico basado en la información recopilada de la base de datos Web of Science (WoS), analizada mediante RStudio con el paquete estadístico Bibliometrix y su interfaz web Biblioshiny. Se examinaron un total de 210 artículos obtenidos mediante el algoritmo de búsqueda («empleabilidad percibida» Y («educación superior» O «universit*»), correspondientes al período estudiado. Resultados/Discusión: La producción científica sobre el tema se distribuye geográficamente, con un predominio en Europa (40,9 %) y Asia (36,3 %), seguidas de América (11,3 %), África (9 %) y Oceanía (2,2 %). La mayoría de los estudios se concentran en el período 2022-2023, con una tasa de crecimiento anual promedio del 31,38 %. Conclusiones: Los resultados ponen de relieve la creciente importancia de alinear las competencias adquiridas en la educación superior con las exigencias del mercado laboral para mejorar la empleabilidad de los graduados. Esta tendencia se ha intensificado en los últimos años, como lo demuestra la concentración de estudios y la expansión geográfica de la investigación, lo que refleja la relevancia global del tema. Originalidad/Valor: El trabajo proporciona un mapa conceptual actualizado que destaca la expansión y diversificación global del campo, ofreciendo directrices estratégicas para la gestión curricular y el fortalecimiento de la sostenibilidad en las universidades.
