Maturidade em gerenciamento de projetos no contexto da gestão estratégica no setor público: análise na Secretaria de Estado da Tributação do Rio Grande do Norte

This paperwork attempts to measure the project management maturity in the State Department of Taxation in Rio Grande do Norte. Project management has shown to be a critical component to any organization success, as the projects are directly related to a set of activities resulting into organizational innovations such as products, services and processes; and its improvement is directly aligned with the strategic management. Methodologically, this paperwork uses both a quantitative and qualitative approach that will be applied to the coordinators, sub-coordinators, and directors of the Regional Offices of the State Department of Taxation. In the theoretical reference it is about the public management and analyzes the strategic management in contemporary public administration. Presents the maturity in project management is by discussing the main models: CMM, Capability Maturity Model; PMMM, Project Management Maturity Model; OPM3, Organization Project Maturity Model and the Prado-MMGP, Modelo de Maturidade em Gerenciamento de Projetos. From this analysis, considering attributes as an aid in taking strategic positioning, access to the model, possibility of benchmarking and continuous improvement, the Prado-MMGP model was the most appropriate for this research process. It has been proved that the State Department of Taxation shows a very low project management maturity level. Regarding the acceptance of the maturity dimensions by the State Department, it is still in an early developmental stage, as one of the dimensions showed a poor performance while the rest showed a regular one. In contrast with similar organizations, the maturity results have shown to be below the national average. The maturity assessment enables in the institution the implementation of a plan for institutional growth with the creation of sector strategic and project management

Trajetória de carreira do profissional de recursos humanos

The idea that the career consists in a linear path throughout the individual s professional life structured by the company where he or she works has been changing to a new reality in which the career is seen as a journey, open to possibilities and uncertainties. Several models have come up as an attempt to comprehend and analyze this journey. Among them, there is the model of career narrative, which assumes that, while narrating, individuals give meaning to their own path, and at the same time they consider personal factors and the environment that act on their professional biography. This paper aimed to explore and articulate issues related to the environment and career paths of the human resource professionals working in the Greater Natal. For this purpose, the model of career narrative was used. From the methodological viewpoint, the project was divided in two stages. The first was characterized by conducting a survey with the intention of mapping professionals socio-occupational characteristics, through the application of a semi-structured questionnaire. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistical techniques and cluster analysis. The descriptive statistical analyses included 117 participants. The results indicated that HR professionals of Greater Natal have different functions, develop activities focused on different subsystems, have an increasing career path, and focus their professional formation in Business Administration and Psychology. The second stage of the study was characterized by the use of 17 narrative interviews, whose participants, in the process of nonprobabilistic sampling, were identified based on their belonging to the three clusters: Group 1, HR and public administration; Group 2, HR experts; and Group 3, HR beginners. Analyzing the results of the qualitative phase, it was found that the identification with the activity practiced is a deciding factor for choosing and remaining in the HR field. The lack of professional recognition appears as the main difficulty faced by professionals, as well as the lack of employment opportunity in the Greater Natal. The results analysis leads to a series of discussions on the career path in HR and reflections for this professional category, its representative bodies and educational institutions

Gestão pública em saúde mental: um estudo em CAPS com gerência pública e privada do Rio Grande Do Norte

Currently, several models of management services from the public administration are in operation in Brazil following a global trend. Besides the traditional public management operated in SUS, there are ongoing experiments of privately management in the public health services. Accordingly, we have developed an investigation into two Psychosocial Care Centers operating between these two forms of financial resources management: the first is the CAPS II - PAR situated in the municipality of Parnamirim whose form is private and the second is the CAPS II West Christmas is that the municipal government. We seek to know the workings of services, planning forms and criteria for use of financial resources, identify differences between departments on ways to run and see how technicians and users participate in the planning and management of these resources. Documentary Research was conducted by the municipal Christmas and the financial administration of the CAPS service in Parnamirim. Were conducted an interview with manager (mental health coordinator of Natal) and another interview with an employee of planning department in the Health Department of Natal, an interview with the coordinator and financial administrator of CAPS - PAR and two groups of discussion taped conversation with semi structured script interviews with six technicians in CAPS PAR and six professionals crowded in CAPS - West.Differences were observed in the management of resources funded from four blocks of discussion and analysis of results, where the privately-run service for the direct management and bureaucracy without being discussed and planned spending on staff, as well as through meetings with users, the use of the financial resources available in box; already in service with municipal public administration there is a hierarchy, this answering the coordination of mental health and the local health department that centralizes resources and defines their spending. There are meetings with patients and families, but the demands are limited as to what can be sued because of the manager s authorization. Such differentiation would be related to differences in the articulation of public management with the different types of possible management in public services, where from the implementation of new public administration in the Brazilian s State Management Reform initiated in the second half of the 1990s, benefit management services with private regime, with autonomy and direct transfer of resources

La incertidumbre de los recursos hídricos y sus riesgos frente al cambio climático: herramientas para los tomadores de decisiones de los sectores público y privado

Tal vez el principal canal de transmisión de los impactos del cambio climático sobre las actividades económicas y humanas es a través de la disponibilidad de los recursos hídricos. Reconociendo la necesidad de generar políticas que permitan gestionar los riesgos que imponen las nuevas condiciones climáticas sobre los recursos hídricos desde los sectores público y privado, la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), en conjunto con el International Development Research Centre (IDRC) de Canadá, el Programa CEPAL-BMZ/GIZ y la Cámara Internacional de Comercio (ICC), organizó los días 29 y 30 de octubre el Seminario “Recursos hídricos bajo incertidumbre y riesgo al cambio climático: herramientas para los tomadores de decisión del sectores público y privado” donde se expusieron y debatieron distintas propuestas de análisis e instrumentos económicos para la gestión del riesgo en el sector hídrico frente al cambio climático. Este documento, que reúne cuatro de los trabajos discutidos en el seminario, busca impulsar esta agenda de adaptación al cambio climático del sector hídrico considerando una gestión de riesgos apropiada.

O município e a organização da educação: caminhos e desafios da criação e implantação do sistema municipal de ensino de Ananindeua-PA

A pesquisa investigou o processo de institucionalização do Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Ananindeua - Pará, considerando a democratização, descentralização da educação e autonomia municipal como categorias centrais. Objetivou a análise de sua organização desde a criação da Lei do Sistema Municipal de Ensino, por meio dos documentos oficiais que lhe dão suporte, sua caracterização enquanto sistema municipal e a formulação da sua política educacional. A metodologia utilizada foi uma pesquisa bibliográfica e análise documental. Os resultados mostram que a construção dos sistemas municipais de ensino no Brasil vem se dando pela recuperação do pacto federativo, redefinindo-se as responsabilidades dos entes federados, num contexto de grandes mudanças no cenário educacional; o município brasileiro assumiu um papel fundamental nesta organização, passando a ter a prerrogativa legal de constituir seu próprio sistema de ensino; a relação entre descentralização e democratização das tomadas de decisões não é direta, sendo defendida como uma oportunidade de se dar um novo significado às formas de gestão das instâncias públicas; a transferência da administração de escolas estaduais para o nível local se mostrou como um grande viés da descentralização; o município de Ananindeua ainda busca a consolidação do seu sistema de ensino e, no âmbito de sua função normativa e de mobilização, busca a participação dos diversos segmentos sociedade local. Conclui-se que para a criação do SME de Ananindeua se fez uma opção política que exigiu daqueles que são responsáveis pela educação municipal assumirem responsabilidades por sua organização; sua construção ensejou a análise dos problemas locais da educação, a definição de estruturas e funções dos organismos locais e percepção dos fins e valores da educação local.

Aplicação de uma metodologia de lógica fuzzy à gestão de estoques: um estudo de caso em uma instituição pública

Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta de aplicação de uma metodologia de lógica fuzzy à gestão de estoques de uma instituição pública da administração federal, localizada em Manaus-AM. Inicialmente, é realizada uma revisão da literatura sobre logística e gestão de suprimentos. Em seguida, são abordados assuntos relativos à gestão de estoques. Após isto, são discutidos tópicos referentes à Lógica Fuzzy. A metodologia proposta possibilitará um melhor controle do estoque, uma vez que serão substituídos os tradicionais métodos quantitativos de gerenciamento de estoques. Os dados utilizados foram coletados diretamente do almoxarifado da instituição em estudo, e referem-se à movimentação de estoque de um determinado item, durante o ano de 2009. A utilização da lógica fuzzy tem despertado, cada vez mais, a atenção de pesquisadores de diversas áreas do conhecimento, sendo, porém, que o grande desafio que se coloca aos mesmos é a modelagem dos dados coletados, em virtude do apoio computacional necessário a sua aplicação. A interação com os valores observados, operados pelas regras da lógica fuzzy permite um melhor controle das ações de um almoxarifado, tais como atendimento, reposição e licitação, uma vez que lida com situações de incerteza e subjetividade. A metodologia desenvolvida mostra-se apta a indicar de uma forma melhor a realização das citadas ações, sendo capaz de operacionalizar de forma automatizada o controle e o gerenciamento do estoque.

Cultura organizacional, inovação e gestão ambiental: integrando conceitos para a edificação de organizações sustentáveis

The main purpose of this article is to relate two among the most important themes of the current organizational dynamic: organizational culture, innovation and environmental management. Great part of the literature about environmental management and environmental innovation refers to organizational culture as the most arduous wall or the most significant element to develop effective practices of business environmental management. However, relationship among such concepts is, many times, superficial or camouflaging the necessary analytic depth. To solve this challenge, this article integrates the levels of the organizational culture (workmanships, values and presupposed unconscious), the typologies of environmental innovation (total productivity of resources, innovations for the segregation of materials and articulation of bio-systems), and the environmental technologies (end-of-pipe, environmental measurement, pollution prevention and zero-impact technology). Recommendations and challenges for the continuity of this research are registered.
