This study aimed to measure the perception of maturity project management of state boards of Rio Grande do Norte by the perception of its managers. Argues that project management has been highlighted as a critical factor for the success of any organization, because the projects are directly related to the set of activities that result in organizational innovation as products, services and processes and the improvement of project management is directly aligned with the main pillars of the New Public Management. Methodologically, this is a quantitative research of a descriptive nature in which 161 forms were applied with coordinators and subcoordinators of state departments of Rio Grande do Norte, culminating in a sampling error of less than 6% to 95% confidence according to the procedures finite sampling. The process of tabulation and analysis was done using the package Statistical Package for Social Sciences - SPSS 18.0 and worked with techniques such as mean, standard deviation, frequency distributions, cluster analysis and factor analysis. The results indicate that the levels of maturity in project management in state departments of Rio Grande do Norte is below the national average and that behavioral skills are the main problem for improving management in these departments. It was possible to detect the existence of two groups of different perceptions about the management of projects, indicating, according to the managers, there are islands of excellence in project management in some sectors of the state departments. It was also observed that there are eight factors that affect maturity in project management: Planning and Control , Development of Management Skills , Project Management Environment , Acceptance of the Subject Project Management , Stimulus to Performance , Project Evaluation and Learning , Project Management Office and Visibility of Project Managers . It concludes that the project management in state departments of Rio Grande do Norte has no satisfactory levels of maturity in project management, affecting the levels of efficiency and effectiveness of the state apparatus, which shows that some of the assumptions that guide the New Public Management are not getting the levels of excellence nailed by this management model

This is a study concerning in the structure of non governmental organizations, based on the institutional theory. It aims to understand the relation among structure, social projects and environmental influences, analyzing if there is coherence with project social or expresses adaptation to the institutional pressures of the environment. It introduces as theoretical support for the themes, studies about institutional theory and social structure. The research is descriptive and exploratory; it also applies to a study of case, based on the technical procedures. From the research universe, that was compound by non governmental organizations from Natal, RN, Brasil, it was chosen the Casa Renascer, a non governmental organization that works with the combat to the violence and sexual exploration of children and teenagers. The data collection process employed includes documental research, observations and semi structured research devices, guided by the organizational process proposed by Serva (1996) and by the institutional theory. The collected data were qualitatively treated. The analysis was divided into three parts, following the research matters. The social project characterization demonstrated that the organization went by three main phases. The first one, characterized by focus in women and girls education and health; the second shows the emphasis on girls in social risk situation, with preventive approach; and the last one, characterized by victims assistance of violence and sexual exploration. From the analysis using the institutional theory mechanisms, the results showed that exists coherence between structure and environmental influences, but a weak coherence between structure and social projects. It indicates as main determinant of the structure, an aspect forgotten by the institutional theory, the power. It was observed the presence from normative, coercive and mimetic mechanisms, highlighting normative influences

On the aggravation of social problems and the shortage of resources, the improvement of evaluation methods and control of its application, requiring more efficiency, efficacy, effectiveness and participation in its management, has been growing. As a result, emerges the importance of studying and developing such methodologies. The overall goal of this dissertation is to know what are the difficults to incorporate the point of view of executers and beneficiaries in evaluation process. To do so, has been done a research characterized as qualitative, with a field strategy using the case study of two social projects called Petrobras Child Program, situated in the metropolitan region of Natal, and Content Analysis technique for analyze the data. The conclusions of this work can assist in improving the process of projects evaluation financed by Petrobras, contributing with its social role, besides the possibility of encouraging a greater participation of other society actors, such as beneficiaries, in the evaluation process

Ao longo dos últimos anos vários estudos de benchmarking em gerenciamento de projetos têm demonstrado a baixa evolução nos indicadores de desempenho de gerenciamento de projetos, sinalizando que as empresas pouco têm aprendido com as experiências negativas.Projetos com algum nível de deterioração em seus indicadores, caracterizados pela literatura e pelo mercado como complexos, problemáticos, em crise ou fracassados são frequentes e não tem sido percebido iniciativas preventivas a fim de impedir antecipadamente a deterioração dos indicadores destes projetos. A partir do estudo da bibliografia técnica e científica disponível, este trabalho buscou responder ao seguinte questionamento: É possível desenvolver um Framework, voltado para o diagnóstico prematuro e direcionamento de ações preventivas de projetos problemáticos, a partir da experiência de pessoas que vêm atuando nestes projetos e da literatura e pesquisas disponíveis? A partir da definição de um recorte que defina a expressão “projetos problemáticos” e da análise de referenciais bibliográficos, buscou-se reconhecer, via questionário de pesquisa quantitativa, com amostra não probabilística por conveniência, os sintomas que são percebidos com maior frequência nesses projetos. O questionário foi aplicado no segundo semestre de 2015, com foco nos respondentes da região Sudeste do Brasil, tendo sido obtidas 265 respostas válidas. A partir da análise dos dados obtidos, concluiu-se que os sintomas mais frequentes reconhecidos nos projetos problemáticos vivenciados por profissionais atuantes em projetos na região Sudeste do Brasil estão relacionados às hipóteses de que “O planejamento do projeto e o gerenciamento de riscos não ocorreram conforme as boas práticas de gerenciamento de projetos”, e de que “Não havia uma iniciativa efetiva de gestão do conhecimento em todo o ciclo de vida do projeto”. Utilizando como norte os resultados de maior expressividade obtidos via questionário de pesquisa, propôs-se um Framework genérico voltado para o diagnóstico prematuro de projetos problemáticos, e eventual direcionamento de ações preventivas e corretivas, nos casos em que já haja deterioração efetiva do desempenho desses projetos.

O presente trabalho dá prosseguimento a uma pesquisa desenvolvida na Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) que gerou o software SIEGPP (Sistema Informatizado de Elaboração e Gerenciamento de Projetos Pedagógicos de Cursos), no modelo SaaS (Software as a Service). Esse software é destinado a facilitar a elaboração de projetos pedagógicos para cursos técnicos profissionalizantes de nível médio na modalidade a distância (EaD). O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a aceitação do SIEGPP pelos coordenadores desses cursos, oferecidos pelo Instituto Federal Minas Gerais (IFMG). Os coordenadores preencheram os dados dos projetos pedagógicos dos seus cursos, usando o SIEGPP e responderam a um questionário de avaliação organizado com base no modelo de aceitação de tecnologia – Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Os dados aferidos pela pesquisa demonstram que o SIEGPP apresentou elevados índices de aceitação quando testado seguindo o Technology Acceptance Model, o que permite afirmar a validação de seu potencial para utilização como SaaS por profissionais de educação na modalidade EaD. Esses dados estarão à disposição dos pesquisadores da UFSC para aprimoramento da ferramenta, antes de sua liberação para os usuários.

O perfil singular dos projetos de engenharia é caracterizado por diferenças geográficas e culturais, impactos no meio ambiente e pela aplicação de vultosos recursos financeiros e humanos, exercendo pressão para a eficaz gestão dos trabalhos nas organizações. Os resultados advindos do uso das melhores práticas em gerenciamento de projetos em milhares de empresas pelo mundo suscitaram boas expectativas às empresas brasileiras. Assim, a questão que orientou este estudo foi: " de que modo o grau de maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos determina o sucesso de empresas de projetos de engenharia?” O sucesso de empresas projetistas consiste na satisfação final de seus clientes por meio do alcance das principais metas estabelecidas para os projetos, sendo esse o core business dessas organizações. Dessa maneira, o objetivo geral deste trabalho foi o de analisar como o grau de maturidade na gestão de projetos leva ao sucesso as empresas de engenharia. Esta pesquisa classifica-se como descritiva, com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. A metodologia contemplou a utilização de surveys interseccionais e entrevistas com gerentes de projetos de três empresas de engenharia de médio porte com foco em mineração. Os resultados deste estudo situaram as empresas de engenharia no patamar de maturidade nível dois, também chamado de “conhecido”, em uma escala de cinco níveis. As análises das informações indicam que o fator-chave para o sucesso de empresas projetistas está no alinhamento estratégico dos projetos com a organização e na capacitação técnica da equipe. Tais fatores são alcançados mais facilmente à medida que as organizações adquirem maturidade no domínio de ferramentas, processos de trabalho e habilidades para gerir seus projetos.

L étude se fonde sur la recherche du processus inhérent à la conception du projet par le biais de l approche architecturologique proposée par Philippe Boudon et al (2000) ; un modèle théorique qui sert de fondement à la construction d une connaissance de l architecture au moyen d une étude de la nature des opérations mentales de chaque architecte lorsqu il organise son travail de conception. La modélisation de l architecturologie concentre son étude sur le travail qui a lieu avant même la confection matérielle du projet (représentation graphique finale). De cette façon, douze projets furent analysés d architecture résidencielle unifamiliale; conçus récemment par six architectes « potiguares » pour Natal et sa région périphérique. Les résultats mettent en évidence un ensemble de modèles substrats (comme point de départ) et téléologiques (comme point d arrivée) adoptés par les auteurs au cours de la conception de leurs projets. Ces modèles, de façon générale, sont liés aux pertinences socio-culturelles (conventions, formes traditionnelles ou coutumes) du contexte pour lesquels ils sont conçus (lotissements privés de co-propriété des classes moyennes et moyennes-supérieures) et en même temps, ils sont le fruit de croyances, d idéologies et d expériences antérieures propres à l espace de la conception de chaque architecte

Há seis anos, a Escola Superior de Tecnologia da Saúde de Lisboa (ESTeSL) promoveu o primeiro estudo aprofundado sobre a incidência do desemprego e as diferentes formas de inserção profissional dos diplomados nos cursos aí ministrados. Até então, não existiam dados seguros sobre a dimensão real deste problema relacionado, em primeira instância, com as alterações profundas nos cenários de empregabilidade e inserção profissional dos diplomados do ensino superior nas diferentes áreas científicas e, em particular, no campo das tecnologias da saúde, verificadas a partir do início deste novo século. Os resultados do estudo relativo aos licenciados em 2007 e 2008 permitiram identificar um conjunto de tendências observadas na inserção profissional dos diplomados pela ESTeSL, em diferentes dimensões, nomeadamente os diferentes modos de acesso à vida ativa e de inserção no mercado de trabalho, os percursos profissionais associados às trajetórias de inserção e às suas perspetivas e projetos de futuro. Com o presente estudo, pretende-se comparar as tendências dos processos de inserção profissional destes diplomados relativamente aos que terminaram o seu curso recentemente (2014), com vista a identificar as principais linhas de continuidade e de mudança verificadas durante este período.

This research continues the current debate about the role of the images and the words in the architectural design persuasion, where we emphasize the increasing valuation of written documents (FORTY, 2004; MARKUS; CAMERON, 2002), the seduction for the graphical representation (DURAND, 2003) and the rhetorical effects of the graphical and textual resources (TOSTRUP, 1999). Based on these quarrels, we look for verify in the graduate final projects the relation between the design texts and images. From the PROJEDATA, database of the PROJETAR research group (UFRN), we selected the final projects of two brazilians universities, UFRN and USP, that in a first analysis, they had shown as ideal types of two distinct design presentation models, respectively: texts and drawings in separated documents, or combined in an only support. Based on Markus explanation about the function and the content of the texts, on the Durand perspective with regard to graphical representation uses and on Tostrup point of view concerning the rhetorical potential of texts and drawings, we analyze, in a set of 25 projects, how the students relate the textual and imagetical speeches. For this, we related the focus of each speech, in order to verify the possible coherence between both. We conclude that in the model of USP final project the coherence between the texts and the drawings is clearer than in the model adopted in UFRN

Natural ventilation is an efficient bioclimatic strategy, one that provides thermal comfort, healthful and cooling to the edification. However, the disregard for quality environment, the uncertainties involved in the phenomenon and the popularization of artificial climate systems are held as an excuse for those who neglect the benefits of passive cooling. The unfamiliarity with the concept may be lessened if ventilation is observed in every step of the project, especially in the initial phase in which decisions bear a great impact in the construction process. The tools available in order to quantify the impact of projected decisions consist basically of the renovation rate calculations or computer simulations of fluids, commonly dubbed CFD, which stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics , both somewhat apart from the project s execution and unable to adapt for use in parametric studies. Thus, we chose to verify, through computer simulation, the representativeness of the results with a method of simplified air reconditioning rate calculation, as well as making it more compatible with the questions relevant to the first phases of the project s process. The case object consists of a model resulting from the recommendations of the Código de Obras de Natal/ RN, customized according to the NBR 15220. The study has shown the complexity in aggregating a CFD tool to the process and the need for a method capable of generating data at the compatible rate to the flow of ideas and are discarded during the project s development. At the end of our study, we discuss the necessary concessions for the realization of simulations, the applicability and the limitations of both the tools used and the method adopted, as well as the representativeness of the results obtained

In Natal s urban growth process it is given that the performance period of the National Housing Bank (BNH, 1964-1986) was marked by the intense expansion of the urban grid and configuration of outskirts, through the construction of social housing developments. Implanted in segregated areas of the existing formal city, the population installed in these complexes was also excluded from their rights, considering that the housing defines itself not only by the physical dwelling, but also by its access to urban infrastructure, facilities, services, and others. From this reality and the verification of the city s exclusion and sociospatial segregation processes, we aimed to quantitatively demonstrate levels of social exclusion in Natal, based on the methodology developed by Sposati (2000) and adapted by Genovez (2002), which relates IBGE s (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) database underlying variables such as income, schooling and dwelling s quality. The research unveiled some spatial patterns promoted by the social housings: in these areas islands were developed with higher indicators than surrounding areas, revealing internal hierarchies in the city s outskirts

Ethics on scientific research is approached and often discussed in several areas of knowledge connected to health. In the Administration area there are very few studies which approach the topic of ethics on research. The present paper tried to fill in this gap in the production of knowledge about the topic, investigating how the ethical principles found in the literature and in the codes of conduct are noticed and taken into account in Administration research activities developed by acting researchers in Administration Post Graduation Programs. Theoretically speaking, the study was based mainly on the approaches by Creswell (2007) and Bell and Bryman (2007), which discuss the research ethical principles. Methodologically speaking it was all about an exploratory kind of study, with qualitative research approach. Upon data collection, personal interviews were made aiming at its depth and focus groups were formed. The first stage had interviews with four experienced researchers who took part on a teaching and researching event and on the second stage we used the focus group technique. The focus groups were done in four college institutions along with the post graduation programs in Administration in the states of Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba and Pernambuco, in Brazil. The results suggest the existence of general principles and parameters for the scientific research recommended in the literature and on official resolution. However, in the Administration area, there are only a few recommendations of good practices when it comes to submitting articles for scientific publications but we found no guidance with ethical principles and parameters which cover all the activities in the scientific research and which specifically meet the research particularities in Administration. The main ethical dilemma pointed by the researchers refers to ethical questions which arise at the time of data collection and on disclosing the results. Most researchers do not know the guidelines and the ethical norms on ethics about research that we have in our country neither do they send in their projects to the research ethics committee. When dilemma arises, they decide the ethical question based on their values and common sense. These elements confirm the thesis that the researcher s procedure in the research activities in Administration is predominantly signed by personal values or by common sense and less by ethical principles, whether by not knowing the normative instruments related to ethics or by disagreeing with any disciplining rules on ethical behavior in the research
