ABSTRACT: This paper analyzed the
internal and external factors that determined the efficiency of LyFC before its
extinction, allowing for a comparative assessment of perceptions in which former electrical workers argued the
unconstitutionality of this action, and the Federal Government justified under
the low efficiency argument that was reflected in the decrease of indicator
User Interruption Time (TIU), an indicator in which the Federal Government
determines the efficiency of the Agency. The study is correlational,
descriptive, transversal and applies a measuring instrument with 93 items to a population of 267. For the analysis of results, we used SPSS and descriptive
statistics and inferential. The results allowed us to point out that the budget
allocation variables, technology, work organization, material assignment,
administrative efficiency, distribution networks, housing growth and external
factors mentioned in this research itself directly influenced the efficiency of
the Light and Power Center (LyFC) and explanatory variables were terminated. Moreover,
the comparison of operating performance and workloads receiving utilities shows
that although the Mexican Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) is a very
inefficient, labor costs and benefits were higher in LyFC and were certainly a
reason, its
extinction.
