Publicado
2026-04-17

La modernización de los sistemas de justicia constituye un desafío ineludible para fortalecer el Estado de Derecho. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre la gobernabilidad del Poder Judicial y la gestión de atención al usuario mediante una revisión sistemática. Se aplicó un enfoque cualitativo documental con diseño bibliográfico, siguiendo el protocolo PRISMA 2020 y el Modelo Hurtado de Barrera. Se consultaron las bases de datos Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO y ProQuest para el período 2014-2024. De 847 estudios encontrados, se seleccionaron 25 representativos que cumplieron los criterios de elegibilidad. Los resultados evidencian que la transparencia judicial incrementa la confianza pública entre 23% y 41%, mientras que la digitalización mejora la eficiencia operativa. La accesibilidad mediante servicios virtuales amplía el acceso a la justicia. Se concluye que la gobernabilidad judicial efectiva constituye un determinante crítico de la calidad en la atención al usuario, siendo la integración tecnológica y la transparencia factores cruciales para fortalecer la legitimidad institucional y la satisfacción ciudadana.
