A representação social do papel de gestores em organizações não governamentais

The discussions concerning the absence of a management model appropriate to the peculiarities of third sector organizations have not been impeditive to their emphasized expansion in the last decades. In the attempt of understanding this phenomenon from the perspective of those who manage social organizations, this work based on the theory of social representations to understand the notion that organization managers of the third sector - based in Fortaleza CE - have of the part that they play and how this notion influences the direction of their activities. Social representations of managers of four different categories of non-governmental organizations have been investigated, each category composed of two unities. The categories researched were: social integration through art and education, prevention and treatment of alcohol and drug abuse, children s health assistance and community action. By using Doise s Societal Approach, the role of social managers translated in intraindividual, interindividual and situational processes of their actions, has been analysed within the social representations, focusing on beliefs, values, symbols and stories that give meaning to the existence of non-governmental organizations. Analysis and discussion of data displayed the existence of diversity in the understanding of managers within their practice, in other words, the management profile is also its own manager s. The branch where an organization acts is also preponderant in the shaping of a management style. It could be deduced, from to the organizations researched, that professional formation and the manager s social insertion mainly, are determinative factors in the outlining of a management model of its own. It was concluded that, due to heterogeneity of interests and action segments, there is no systematic process for social management among organizations. Management styles are supported by their director s own perception of achievement, who model organizations according to their contingencies

Fatores que influenciam a aceitação de práticas avançadas de gestão de segurança da informação: um estudo com gestores públicos estaduais no Brasil

This study examines the factors that influence public managers in the adoption of advanced practices related to Information Security Management. This research used, as the basis of assertions, Security Standard ISO 27001:2005 and theoretical model based on TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) from Venkatesh and Davis (2000). The method adopted was field research of national scope with participation of eighty public administrators from states of Brazil, all of them managers and planners of state governments. The approach was quantitative and research methods were descriptive statistics, factor analysis and multiple linear regression for data analysis. The survey results showed correlation between the constructs of the TAM model (ease of use, perceptions of value, attitude and intention to use) and agreement with the assertions made in accordance with ISO 27001, showing that these factors influence the managers in adoption of such practices. On the other independent variables of the model (organizational profile, demographic profile and managers behavior) no significant correlation was identified with the assertions of the same standard, witch means the need for expansion researches using such constructs. It is hoped that this study may contribute positively to the progress on discussions about Information Security Management, Adoption of Safety Standards and Technology Acceptance Model

Adaptação sociocultural de gestores espanhóis expatriados no Brasil

This study aims at understanding how sociocultural adjustment occurs in the case of managers, and their spouses, expatriated to Brazil by private and public Spanish organizations. To do so, it adopts as main theoretical frame the expatriate adaptation model proponed by Parker & McEvoy (1993), based on Black, Mendenhall & Oddou s model (1991), which establishes three dimensions of adaptation: adjustment to work; adjustment to general environment and adjustment to interaction with host country nationals. This work, of exploratory and descriptive nature, used field research to gather primary data subsequently analyzed with a qualitative approach. Data collection came from individual in-depth interviews with three Spanish managers expatriated in Brazil and two of their spouses. Resulting data were analyzed through one of content analysis procedures, thematic analysis. This research shows that adjustment is obstructed by cultural distance or cultural novelty rather than by work role characteristics, being more successful in expatriates that carry previous solid sociocultural knowledge about host country. It also verifies that the degree of expatriate adjustment is enhanced by the comprehension of cultural differences that originate values and behaviors different from those of the expatriate. It points out that individual factors such as perception and relation skills, flexibility, empathy and self-efficacy are positively linked to the three dimensions of adjustment: work, general adjustment and interaction adjustment. It finds expatriate adjustment to be lowered by spouse unsuccessful adjustment and shows that location in an environment perceived as short in key infrastructures is negatively linked to adjustment in expatriates coming from strongly urban environments. It concludes that expatriate adjustment occurs through progressive understanding of host country environment and through comprehension of the sociocultural context that explains differences between host country behaviors and values and those from the country of origin, a process which is favored by expatriate individual characteristics not directly linked to his/her technical qualification, such as perception and relation skills, flexibility and empathy, together with solid sociocultural knowledge about the host country. This research propones, therefore, that organizations involved in expatriation processes should include in their selection criteria the degree to which candidates possess personal characteristics and sociocultural knowledge that may facilitate adaptation

A política de municipalização do ensino fundamental no estado do Pará a partir da ótica dos gestores estaduais da educação

Este estudo apresenta a partir do ponto de vista dos gestores da educação estadual, como a política de municipalização do ensino fundamental se (re) configurou no Pará no período de 1996 a 2010. Tem como objetivos analisar como ocorreu ao longo dos Governos estaduais, o processo de (re) formulação; identificar quais foram os discursos orientadores utilizados na tomada de decisão dessa política e apresenta as repercussões mais significativas da política de municipalização para a melhoria da qualidade do ensino fundamental no Pará. O estudo utilizou a análise de documentos e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com os gestores dos Governos estaduais que trabalharam na Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Pará. O estudo concluiu que a política de municipalização se configurou de diversas formas ao longo dos Governos do PSDB e do PT. No Governo do PSDB essa política se configura como condição imprescindível para que a gestão da educação pública alcance a qualidade desejada. No Governo do PT houve diversos tentativas de se reformular essa política, por meio de seminários e fóruns, porém a falta de clareza do Governo estadual sobre o que se desejava com essa política e a mudança de cinco Secretários de Educação acarretou o surgimento de vários discursos diferentes sobre essa política bem como a descontinuidade dos encaminhamentos que foram apresentados pelos respectivos Secretários.

Planejamento em saúde: interação entre gestores & usuários no HPSM Mário Pinotti

Planejar em Saúde não é um tema que se restrinja a uma única matriz disciplinar. Para tratá-lo é necessário buscar em diversas áreas do conhecimento numa perspectiva “transdisciplinar”. Nesta pesquisa tentarei compreender e assimilar novas formas de gestão na saúde para o HPSM Mario Pinotti (Belém-Pará) que não estejam, em sua essência, apenas representando uma capitulação diante de uma conjuntura difícil, ou em outras palavras sucumbindo diante das dificuldades atuais dos problemas advindos de uma sociedade moderna e com interesses tão múltiplos quantos seus atores. Partimos da manifestação da necessidade de proximidade entre as pessoas, no contexto da humanização da relação de pesquisa, requer uma postura de valorização da vida acima de qualquer processo estrutural e/ou técnicocientífico. Por esse motivo escolhemos Bourdieu como principal referência para uma pesquisa etnográfica em um ambiente micropolítico, sob a perspectiva do estabelecimento de uma relação compreensiva com os atores sociais atuantes. Esta opção metodológica é fundamental para a compreensão do objeto proposto, o que dificilmente pode ser feito a partir da escolha de procedimentos simplificados, tais como entrevistas padronizadas e pontuais. O que se abstraiu dos resultados desta pesquisa é que existe um anseio por parte dos gestores e profissionais em adequar a demanda do hospital à capacidade do hospital e não o contrário. Entretanto, é necessário que haja um equilíbrio entre ambos para que o planejamento atinja o objetivo proposto que é o de ordenar os recursos financeiros e humanos com máxima eficiência possível. Políticas e estratégias devem ser consideradas sob a égide de um planejamento participativo promovendo um diálogo entre os que dependem do sistema e trabalham no/para o sistema.
