KWAN CHUNG, Chap Kau et al. Perception of Feng Shui in university academics from Paraguay. Rev. ciente. UCSA [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.1, pp.62-69. ISSN 2409-8752.  https://doi.org/10.18004/ucsa/2409-8752/2025.012.01.062.

The general objective is to determine the degree of knowledge and perception of Feng Shui in the Paraguayan educational community. It was based on a quantitative, non-experimental, transactional and descriptive approach. A total of 433 academic collaborators from a private university in Paraguay was formed as the population with a sample of 157 participants. The response rate was 84% (132 participants), but only 58% (76) of the responses were analyzed, due to their knowledge of the subject. The inclusion criteria were academics from the university analyzed, active and with voluntary participation. The survey was conducted using a questionnaire composed of 3 dimensions (Beliefs and Implementation of Feng Shui [D1], Importance of Feng Shui [D2] and Perceived Impact of Feng Shui [D3]), 3 indicators and 11 items (Knowledge and Application [CA-4], Work Context [CL-3] and Perception of Benefits [PB-4]) for convenience in 2024. The results indicate that the means of the three dimensions are fairly balanced: Beliefs and Implementation of Feng Shui (x̄=2.9), Importance of Feng Shui (x̄=2.7) and Perceived Impact of Feng Shui (x̄=2.2) and the items related to Feng Shui in the PB indicator scored high (x̄=3.7), while the CL3 item received the lowest score (x̄=2.5). It is concluded that Feng Shui is known by the respondents, but its work application generates skepticism. However, a positive impact on organizational climate and efficiency is perceived. Its adoption requires greater awareness to promote its acceptance in the business environment.
