BONILLA-SANTOS, Jasmin et al. Characterization of the executive component in operational staff of the hydrocarbon sector. Rev. ing. univ. Medellín [online]. 2017, vol.16, n.31, pp.219-230. ISSN 1692-3324.  https://doi.org/10.22395/rium.v16n31a11.

This research was conducted with the project Characterization of the executive component in operational staff of Huila hydrocarbon sector, 2012. The objective was to describe the executive component of 35 operators belonging to such population. One of the difficulties is the improper management of protective elements by the operational staff; this implies a need for having valuation instruments in staff recruitment processes which allow identifying anticipation, planning, and flexibility skills needed to avoid risk conducts and promote preventive behavior. The results of the neuropsychological assessment showed difficulties for sustained attention processes, central executive system, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility. It was concluded that knowledge is not sufficient for the improper use of protective elements but the metacognitive functioning to regulate the behavior of the individuals in order to keep themselves safe.
