Abstract

This work identifies the factors that influence the perception of company managers regarding the state support programs carried out in times of Covid19. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of company executives from the city of Talca, Chile. Descriptive, exploratory factor analysis and structural modeling ratified by the relevant goodness of fit indices were carried out. The results confirm the existence of three factors that affect the perception of managers that include 12 significant items. It is concluded that the investment factor acts as an independent dimension in the model, the classification factor of the companies acts as a mediator and finally the competitiveness factor turns out to be the dependent dimension of the model.
